OSFF Assembly at 38C3 Like in the previous year, we visited the Chaos Communication Congress and hosted an assembly.
A comparison between open source host firmware solutions and closed source UEFI This blog post was first posted on https://blog.aheymans.xyz/post/uefi-coreboot-comparison/ . In this article UEFI and closed source UEFI implementation are used interchangeably. EDK2 is an open source project, which is permissively licensed, but most implementation deployed don't release their source code. This whitepaper makes the case that
Open Source Firmware Featured Chrome AP Firmware Embraces to x86_64 Architecture Executive Summary This document details the successful implementation of 64-bit boot support (x86_64 architecture) in Chrome AP firmware to boot ChromeOS devices (i.e., Chromebook, Chromebox etc.) . The primary motivation for this transition was to overcome the 4GB memory limitation of the traditional 32-bit architecture, which is increasingly insufficient
supermicro Supermicro & AMD join the Open Source Firmware Effort In a groundbreaking move at the OCP Regional Summit, Supermicro and AMD have aligned with the Open Source Firmware Foundation (OSFF) to pivot the tech landscape toward open-source firmware, challenging decades of dependence on proprietary systems.
Open Source Firmware - Escape the proprietary cave 1 Preface II have been doing firmware development for more than 12 years for a large German industrial group. I have started my professional firmware development career with x86 based systems. Back then, the old BIOS solution was currently phasing out, but I was able to get a good insight
Open Source Firmware Breaking the Boundary: A Way to Create Your Own FSP Binary Author: Subrata Banik (subratabanik@google.com) Collaboration with: Vincent Zimmer (vincent.zimmer@intel.com) TL;DR A previous article written by me sometime last year named Refining Open-Source Firmware Support for the Intel Platform initiated the thought about bringing openness in firmware development even while working with closed-source silicon reference
post-pandemic programming party! "It's been two years of maybe ..." but ... we did it! We had a hackathon at TU Darmstadt. I had mentioned I'd be in the area to Felix Singer in early June, and Felix proposed a hackathon at TU Darmstadt. I've never been to Darmstadt. Now I wish I could live
Open Source Firmware Featured Refining Open-Source Firmware Support for the Intel Platform This proposal is intended to discuss a path forward towards getting openness in system firmware development with Intel SoC (which primarily uses FSP blobs for Silicon and Platform Initialization)
