It uses OpenBMC firmware, now under The Linux Foundation.
EDK2 is also open source, a UEFI implementation. Looks like Coreboot has been around about as long as EFI, and supports most of the same architectures.
So is the Coreboot advantage argument mainly that it's simpler than UEFI?
- floatboth 7y agoThat last sentence is a bit nonsensical. Apples and oranges. Coreboot is not a standardized interface for OS boot loaders, Coreboot is only low-level early initialization code. Coreboot loads a payload… like EDK2.
