Libreboot provides libre boot firmware (based on coreboot) that initializes the hardware (e.g. memory controller, CPU, peripherals) on specific Intel/AMD x86 and ARM targets, which then starts a bootloader for your operating system (Linux/BSD).

it kinda needs to be there. my intention to be at peace with *those people* is still on. you know the ones. but there's no way to host this page without revealing that hostility, which is currently *former* (or rather, dormant) hostility. rather than censor specific information, the entire page was deleted as part of the reconciliation with fsf, referenced in the article itself, but this too was a mistake. no, the correct thing to do is *continue to host this page*. the other hostile pages are not being re-added. i'll probably delete this page again at some point, and redirect it to a new history page, that will contain all of the same substance and *more*, because: this page was written in a day. it was written from start to finish *on the same day* of libreboot's 10 year anniversary. therefore, it's not as long as it could be. a more complete history is on my TODO. one that also goes into a lot more technical detail. libreboot has a rich and vibrant history, yet has so far not documented its own history well, and the relatively niche nature of libreboot is that a lot of people don't really get what it's about, so you won't find a lot of that info online - the history of the project is entirely in my head. there are other people who can provide their own accounts, but i'm the only person that's been here since the beginning. anyway, i digress. dubiously happy hacking Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <info@minifree.org> |
