Sesikhulume ngakho I-LinuxBoot kule bhulogi, okwakuwuhlelo engangilufuna shintsha i-UEFI, yeka idumela elibi elinalo. Le phrojekthi ivele ikakhulukazi i-HPC (isuselwa ku-x86), okungukuthi, kumaseva nakuma-supercomputer, okuyilapho isetshenziswa khona njengamanje. ILinux Foundation ifuna ukufaka i-UEFI ngokuphelele futhi le phrojekthi iyisinyathelo esikhulu sokususa le firmware engabonakali, ehamba kancane, futhi kwesinye isikhathi eshayisa noma evikelekile.
Sesivele sazi ukuthi i-firmware ibilokhu ine- injongo elula, okuzoqala uhlelo lokusebenza. Kepha ngokuxaka okwandayo kwehardware, lokhu kuya ngokuya kuba nzima ukwenza. Njengamanje, i-firmware kufanele imise izingxenye eziningi zohlelo, ezinokuxhumana okuningi noma imidiya yokuqalisa, isekela izivumelwano eziphambili nezici zokuphepha, njalonjalo. Ngakho-ke, into elula isibe inkinga eyinkimbinkimbi.
Ukuqala kunezigaba ezintathu: I-SEC, i-PEI ne-DXE. Umshayeli noma i-DXE imvelo yesikhathi sokusebenza yilapho uhlelo lwe-UEFI lulayisha khona abashayeli bamadivayisi amisiwe. I-LinuxBoot izothatha isikhundla sokusebenza okuthile kwe-firmware njengalesi sigaba se-UEFI DXE nge-Linux runtime kernel. Ngaphezu kokuthola ukuthembeka okukhulu kokuqalisa, futhi inikezela ngokusebenza okungcono, ngoba ingakwenza lokho kuze kube izikhathi ezingama-20 ngokushesha.
Lokho kuyenze yaphelela kwabaningi amaseva nama-supercomputer, kanye nasezinsizeni eziningi ezifakiwe nezamasosha. Futhi sinezindaba ezinhle kusukela, yize le phrojekthi ibonakala imisiwe ngandlela thile, isaphila kakhulu. Kuxoxwe ngayo engqungqutheleni ye-FOSDEM 2019 futhi onjiniyela abavela ku-Facebook nakuGoogle banikela kakhulu kule phrojekthi ukukhipha i-Hardware ezingeni eliphansi. Lezi zinkampani ezimbili ziyisebenzisela ukuthola isivinini nokwethembeka kwemishini yazo emikhulu, kepha akuzona zodwa ezithintekayo, manje sesazi neHorizon Computing, iTwo Sigma, 9elementes Cyber Security, njll.
