| '''coreboot''' is an Open Source project aimed at replacing the proprietary [http://wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS BIOS] (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a [[Payloads|payload]].
| |
| | |
| With the separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly from firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like [[SeaBIOS | PC BIOS services]] or [[TianoCore | UEFI]]. This allows for systems to only include the features necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required.
| |
| | |
| coreboot currently supports over '''[[Supported Motherboards|230]]''' different mainboards. Check the [[Support]] page to see if your system is supported.
