7- OpenBIOS (http://www.openbios.org/) is a free (GPL v2) portable
8 firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a 100% IEEE
9 1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware.
0bce98df 10 The included images for PowerPC (for 32 and 64 bit PPC CPUs),
9eb08a43 11 Sparc32 (including QEMU,tcx.bin and QEMU,cgthree.bin) and Sparc64 are built
5264917b 12 from OpenBIOS SVN revision 1280.

14- SLOF (Slimline Open Firmware) is a free IEEE 1275 Open Firmware
15 implementation for certain IBM POWER hardware. The sources are at
4807ab4f 16 https://github.com/aik/SLOF, and the image currently in qemu is
c1dc0a1d 17 built from git tag qemu-slof-20230918.

19- VOF (Virtual Open Firmware) is a minimalistic firmware to work with
20 -machine pseries,x-vof=on. When enabled, the firmware acts as a slim shim and
21 QEMU implements parts of the IEEE 1275 Open Firmware interface.

36- The u-boot binary for e500 comes from the upstream denx u-boot project where
37 it was compiled using the qemu-ppce500 target.

41- Skiboot (https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/) is an OPAL
42 (OpenPower Abstraction Layer) firmware for OpenPOWER systems. It can
43 run an hypervisor OS or simply a host OS on the "baremetal"
44 platform, also known as the PowerNV (Non-Virtualized) platform.

49- The "edk2-*.fd.bz2" images are platform firmware binaries and matching UEFI
50 variable store templates built from the TianoCore community's EFI Development
51 Kit II project
52 <https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II>. The images
9e8a55aa
GH
53 were built at git tag "edk2-stable202302". The firmware binaries bundle parts
54 of the OpenSSL project, at git tag "OpenSSL_1_1_1s" (the OpenSSL tag is a
541617ca
LE
55 function of the edk2 tag). Parts of the Berkeley SoftFloat library are
56 bundled as well, at Release 3e plus a subsequent typo fix (commit
57 b64af41c3276f97f0e181920400ee056b9c88037), as an OpenSSL dependency on 32-bit
58 ARM. Licensing information is given in "edk2-licenses.txt". The image files
59 are described by the JSON documents in the "pc-bios/descriptors" directory,
60 which conform to the "docs/interop/firmware.json" schema.

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

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