description | Linux as Firmware Tired of reinventing the wheel by implementing drivers for firmware again and again? Not with LinuxBoot!
What? LinuxBoot is a firmware for modern servers that replaces specific firmware functionality like the UEFI DXE phase with a Linux kernel and runtime.
It started as NERF in January 2017 at Google.
LinuxBoot is a Linux Foundation project and as such has a technical charter.
Why? Improves boot reliability by replacing lightly-tested firmware drivers with hardened Linux drivers. |
