  • Nilo - Network Interface Loader. NILO will boot Linux, FreeBSD, Windows 95/98/NT4 and support the Intel PXE standard.

Flashing on Linux Systems

  • MTD - Memory Technology Device Subsystem for Linux
  • /dev/bios - Flash ROM driver for Linux (for flashing System and PCI adapter firmware
  • Uniflash (nonlinux)
  • flashrom (LinuxBIOS)

Other Open Source Firmware Implementations

  • LinuxBIOS - The LinuxBIOS project bootstraps systems to the point where they can run an OS kernel from flash or over Ethernet using Etherboot.
  • FreeBIOS - The FreeBIOS sourceforge project hosts all of the LinuxBIOS source code in CVS.
  • TIARA - TIARA, an Openbios/GRUB/PFORTH composite, BIOS replacement (dead?)
  • GBIOS - GBIOS is a GPLed firmware for PowerPC G3/G4 and some Motorola cpus.
  • Proll - Proll is a firmware replacement for SUN JavaStations to boot Linux

Virtual Machines and Emulation
