These are all solving use cases. What do you suggest hardware vendors should do?
- rwaksmunski 3y agoApple created a minimal bootloader for their Apple Silicon machines, seems to be working great.
- Novosell 3y agoApple also controlls their entire software and hardware stack, a bit different
- surajrmal 3y agoOxide managed to do something similar as well: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/phbl https://github.com/oxidecomputer/phbl
- yencabulator 3y agoOxide also controls their entire software and hardware stack (theirs is open source, at least)... Neither vendor has to worry about modularity or weird configurations.
- tremon 3y agoOpen their software drivers and publish accurate specifications.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoAnd then what? We implement a dozen different incompatible bootloaders for it? The value in UEFI is that it lets us use a common interface for booting, regardless of how it's implemented. (To be clear, I overwhelmingly prefer FOSS and open specs, but we need to be clear about what things solve what problems)
