linuxboot | LinuxBoot project is working to enable Linux

linuxboot is a C++ library typically used in Embedded System, Ubuntu applications. linuxboot has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Supported server mainboards === * qemu emulated Q35 systems * [Intel S2600WF] * [Dell R630] * Winterfell Open Compute node (works well) * Leopard Open Compute node (works well) * Tioga Pass Open Compute node (works well) * Monolake Open Compute node (not tested). Build instructions === Make sure you have installed the dependencies uuid-dev, nasm, and acpica-tools (or equivalent for your distribution). You need to provide: * The vendor UEFI firmware for the mainboard * A Linux kernel built with the CONFIG_EFI_BDS option enabled * An initrd.cpio file with enough tools to kexec the rest of the system. For the initrd, the [Heads firmware] or [u-root] systems work well. Both will build minimal runtimes that can fit into the few megabytes of space available. For everything except qemu, you’ll need to copy the vendor ROM dump to boards/$(BOARD)/$(BOARD).rom. Due to copyright restrictions, we can’t bundle the ROM images in this tree and you must supply your own ROM from your own machine. qemu can built its own ROM from the edk2 tree, so this is not necessary.
