| '''coreboot''' (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes a so-called [[Payloads|payload]].
| |
| | |
| With this separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot is capable of scaling from specialized applications run directly from firmware, operating systems in Flash, and custom bootloaders to implementations of firmware standards like PCBIOS and EFI without having to carry features not necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
| |
| | |
| We currently support '''[[Supported Motherboards|213]]''' different mainboards.

| * 100% Free Software (GPL), no royalties, no license fees!
| |
| * Fast boot times (3 seconds to Linux console)
| |
| <!-- * Avoids the need for a slow/buggy/proprietary BIOS -->
| |
| <!-- * Runs in 32-Bit protected mode almost from the start -->
| |
| <!-- * Written in C, contains virtually no assembly code -->
| |
| * Supports many [[Supported Motherboards|mainboards]], [[Supported Chipsets and Devices|chipsets]], and [[payloads]]
| |
| <!-- * Further features: netboot, serial console, remote flashing, ... -->
