See http://www.seabios.org/ for more information.
- The VGA BIOS and the Cirrus VGA BIOS come from the LGPL VGA bios
project (http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios/).
- The PowerPC Open Hack'Ware Open Firmware Compatible BIOS is
available at http://repo.or.cz/w/openhackware.git.
- OpenBIOS (http://www.openbios.org/) is a free (GPL v2) portable
firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a 100% IEEE
1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware.
The included images for PowerPC (for 32 and 64 bit PPC CPUs),
Sparc32 (including QEMU,tcx.bin and QEMU,cgthree.bin) and Sparc64 are built
from OpenBIOS SVN revision 1280.
- SLOF (Slimline Open Firmware) is a free IEEE 1275 Open Firmware
implementation for certain IBM POWER hardware. The sources are at
https://github.com/aik/SLOF, and the image currently in qemu is
built from git tag qemu-slof-20141202.
- sgabios (the Serial Graphics Adapter option ROM) provides a means for
legacy x86 software to communicate with an attached serial console as
if a video card were attached. The master sources reside in a subversion
repository at http://sgabios.googlecode.com/svn/trunk. A git mirror is
available at git://git.qemu-project.org/sgabios.git.
- The PXE roms come from the iPXE project. Built with BANNER_TIME 0.
Sources available at http://ipxe.org. Vendor:Device ID -> ROM mapping:
8086:100e -> pxe-e1000.rom
8086:1209 -> pxe-eepro100.rom

git://github.com/rth7680/qemu-palcode.git
- The u-boot binary for e500 comes from the upstream denx u-boot project where
it was compiled using the qemu-ppce500 target.
A git mirror is available at: git://git.qemu-project.org/u-boot.git
The hash used to compile the current version is: 2072e72
