It's been deprecated since QEMU v6.2, so it should be OK to finally remove this now. Message-Id: <20230209161540.1054669-1-thuth@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com> Acked-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

- SeaBIOS (bios.bin) is the successor of pc bios.
|
|
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/).
|
|
|
|
- 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-20220719.
|
|
|
|
- VOF (Virtual Open Firmware) is a minimalistic firmware to work with
|
|
-machine pseries,x-vof=on. When enabled, the firmware acts as a slim shim and
|
|
QEMU implements parts of the IEEE 1275 Open Firmware interface.
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
1050:0940 -> pxe-ne2k_pci.rom
|
|
1022:2000 -> pxe-pcnet.rom

- The sources for the Alpha palcode image is available from:
|
|
https://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: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/u-boot.git
|
|
The hash used to compile the current version is: 2072e72
|
|
|
|
- Skiboot (https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/) is an OPAL
|
|
(OpenPower Abstraction Layer) firmware for OpenPOWER systems. It can
|
|
run an hypervisor OS or simply a host OS on the "baremetal"
|
|
platform, also known as the PowerNV (Non-Virtualized) platform.
|
|
|
|
- QemuMacDrivers (https://github.com/ozbenh/QemuMacDrivers) is a project to
|
|
provide virtualised drivers for PPC MacOS guests.
|
|
|
|
- The "edk2-*.fd.bz2" images are platform firmware binaries and matching UEFI
|
|
variable store templates built from the TianoCore community's EFI Development
|
|
Kit II project
|
|
<https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II>. The images
|
|
were built at git tag "edk2-stable202008". The firmware binaries bundle parts
|
|
of the OpenSSL project, at git tag "OpenSSL_1_1_1g" (the OpenSSL tag is a
|
|
function of the edk2 tag). Parts of the Berkeley SoftFloat library are
|
|
bundled as well, at Release 3e plus a subsequent typo fix (commit
|
|
b64af41c3276f97f0e181920400ee056b9c88037), as an OpenSSL dependency on 32-bit
|
|
ARM. Licensing information is given in "edk2-licenses.txt". The image files
|
|
are described by the JSON documents in the "pc-bios/descriptors" directory,
|
|
which conform to the "docs/interop/firmware.json" schema.

|
- OpenSBI (https://github.com/riscv/opensbi) aims to provide an open-source
|
|
reference implementation of the RISC-V Supervisor Binary Interface (SBI)
|
|
specifications for platform-specific firmwares executing in M-mode. For all
|
|
supported platforms, OpenSBI provides several runtime firmware examples.
|
|
These example firmwares can be used to replace the legacy riscv-pk bootloader
|
|
and enable the use of well-known bootloaders such as U-Boot.
|
|
OpenSBI is distributed under the terms of the BSD 2-clause license

- npcm7xx_bootrom.bin is a simplified, free (Apache 2.0) boot ROM for Nuvoton
|
|
NPCM7xx BMC devices. It currently implements the bare minimum to load, parse,
|
|
initialize and run boot images stored in SPI flash, but may grow more
|
|
features over time as needed. The source code is available at:
