1- SeaBIOS (bios.bin) is the successor of pc bios. 2 See http://www.seabios.org/ for more information. 3 4- The VGA BIOS and the Cirrus VGA BIOS come from the LGPL VGA bios 5 project (http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios/). 6 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. 10 The included images for PowerPC (for 32 and 64 bit PPC CPUs), 11 Sparc32 (including QEMU,tcx.bin and QEMU,cgthree.bin) and Sparc64 are built 12 from OpenBIOS SVN revision 1280. 13 14- SLOF (Slimline Open Firmware) is a free IEEE 1275 Open Firmware 15 implementation for certain IBM POWER hardware. The sources are at 16 https://github.com/aik/SLOF, and the image currently in qemu is 17 built from git tag qemu-slof-20230918. 18 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. 22 23- The PXE roms come from the iPXE project. Built with BANNER_TIME 0. 24 Sources available at http://ipxe.org. Vendor:Device ID -> ROM mapping: 25 26 8086:100e -> pxe-e1000.rom 27 8086:1209 -> pxe-eepro100.rom 28 1050:0940 -> pxe-ne2k_pci.rom 29 1022:2000 -> pxe-pcnet.rom 30 10ec:8139 -> pxe-rtl8139.rom 31 1af4:1000 -> pxe-virtio.rom 32 33- The sources for the Alpha palcode image is available from: 34 https://github.com/rth7680/qemu-palcode.git 35 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. 38 A git mirror is available at: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/u-boot.git 39 The hash used to compile the current version is: 2072e72 40 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. 45 46- QemuMacDrivers (https://github.com/ozbenh/QemuMacDrivers) is a project to 47 provide virtualised drivers for PPC MacOS guests. 48 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 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 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. 61 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 70 source code also contains code reused from other projects described here: 71 https://github.com/riscv/opensbi/blob/master/ThirdPartyNotices.md. 72 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: 77 https://github.com/google/vbootrom 78 79- hppa-firmware.img (32-bit) and hppa-firmware64.img (64-bit) are firmware 80 files for the HP-PARISC (hppa) architecture. 81 They are built form the SeaBIOS-hppa sources, which is a fork of SeaBIOS 82 adapted for hppa. 83 SeaBIOS-hppa is available at https://github.com/hdeller/seabios-hppa 84
