Description

Coreboot is an open source firmware platform designed to replace the proprietary BIOS firmware used in most computers. It is designed to be fast, secure, and flexible, and to provide the ultimate control to users over their system's hardware. Coreboot can be used to boot an operating system from a variety of hardware platforms including x86, ARM, and RISC-V. It is highly customizable, allowing users to customize their boot process, as well as to add additional features and optimizations to their system. Coreboot is used in many embedded and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, as well as in some high-end servers and workstations. It has been used in a wide range of projects, including the Libreboot project, which is aimed at creating a fully free and open source computing platform.
