SeaBIOS is an open source implementation of a 16bit X86 BIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
SeaBIOS can run in an emulator or it can run natively on X86 hardware with
|
||||
the use of coreboot (http://www.coreboot.org).
|
||||
|
||||
SeaBIOS is the default BIOS for qemu and kvm.
|
||||
|
||||
SeaBIOS may be distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPLv3 license.
|
||||
Both source code and binaries are available.

|
||||
coreboot is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS
|
||||
(firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of
|
||||
hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a
|
||||
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 PC BIOS services or 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 230 different mainboards. Check the
|
||||
Support page to see if your system is supported.
|
||||
|
||||
coreboot was formerly known as LinuxBIOS.
