Open BIOS

OpenBIOS is a project aiming to provide free and open source implementations of Open Firmware. It is also the name of such an implementation.

Most of the implementations provided by OpenBIOS rely on an additional lower-level firmware for hardware initialization, such as coreboot or Das U-Boot.

Famous quotes containing the word open:

    “... men need women more than women need men; and so, aware of this fact, man has sought to keep woman dependent upon him economically as the only method open to him of making himself necessary to her.”
    —Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
