ICoreBoot iyi enye indlela evulekile ehlukile kuhlelo lwendabuko lwe-Basic I / O (BIOS) ebesevele ikuma-PC we-MS-DOS 80s futhi esikhundleni sayo kwafakwa i-UEFI (Unified Extensible).
Ngaphandle kwalokho futhi iCoreBoot nayo iyi-analog yamahhala ephathelene ne-firmware futhi iyatholakala ukuze iqinisekiswe ngokugcwele futhi ihlolwe. I-CoreBoot isetshenziswa njenge-firmware eyisisekelo yokuqalisa kwe-hardware nokuxhumanisa i-boot.
Mayelana neCoreboot
Le phrojekthi ifaka phakathi ukuqaliswa kwe-chip yehluzo, I-PCIe, i-SATA, i-USB, i-RS232. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, Izingxenye zebhizinisi ze-FSP 2.0 (Intel Firmware Support Package) kanye ne-firmware kanambambili yohlelo olungaphansi lwe-Intel ME, okudingeka ukuthi iqalise futhi ivule i-CPU ne-chipset, zakhelwe kuCoreBoot.
ICoreBoot njengamanje isekela amabhodi womama we-AMD angaphezu kwama-20kufaka phakathi i-AMD Padmelon, i-AMD Dinar, i-AMD Rumba, i-AMD Gardenia, i-AMD Stoney Ridge, i-MSI MS-7721, iLenovo G505S, ne-ASUS F2A85-M. Ngo-2011, i-AMD yakhipha ikhodi yomthombo yelabhulali ye-AGESA (AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture), efaka izinqubo zokuqalisa ama-processor cores, memory, kanye nomshayeli we-HyperTransport.
I-AGESA beyihlelelwe ukuthi ithuthukiswe njengengxenye yeCoreBoot, kepha ngo-2014 lolu hlelo lwasuswa kwathi i-AMD yakhipha kabusha imihlangano kanambambili ye-AGESA.
ICoreboot izothunyelwa kuma-processor we-AMD Ryzen bese iSystem76 izoyinakekela
Le phrojekthi isetshenziswa ezikhungweni eziningi, amaphrojekthi, izisekelo, phakathi kokunye namanje UJeremy Soller, umsunguli wohlelo lokusebenza lweRedox Rust nomphathi wobunjiniyela weSystem76, umemezele ukudluliswa kweCoreBoot kuye ama-laptops nezindawo zokusebenza ezithunyelwa ngama-chipsets I-AMD Matisse (I-Ryzen 3000) noRenoir (I-Ryzen 4000) ngokususelwa ku-Zen 2 microarchitecture.
Futhi ukuthi isimemezelo senziwe nge-akhawunti yakhe ye-Twitter lapho ephawula khona okulandelayo:
«Ngikubonile ukukhanya komkhulu @LisaSu», bhala ifayela le- Unjiniyela weSystem76 uJeremy Soller. “Namuhla kuqala uhambo lwami lokuya echwebeni eliyinhloko lokuya eMatisse naseRenoir. Sobonana ngaphesheya! "
Futhi, Kushiwo ukuthi ukwenza iphrojekthi, i-AMD inikezwe kubathuthukisi be-System76 imibhalo edingekayokanye nekhodi yezingxenye zokwesekwa kwepulatifomu (i-PSP) nokuqalisa kwe-chip (i-AGESA).
"Sizoba yibo bodwa endaweni yonke ukunikeza laba bacubungula i-firmware yomthombo ovulekile uma isebenza," kusho uSoller.
KuSystem76 sinokufinyelela kumadokhumenti e-AMD ngaphansi kwe-NDA okungekho esidlangalaleni. Ukufakwa kwe-coreboot kungaba nzima kakhulu uma kungenjalo.
Inhloso yama-NDA ukuthola ukuthi ungayilayisha kanjani i-firmware yeCoreboot ngaphandle kokuthinta enye i-Hardware ohlelweni oludingekayo ukusebenza nokugcina ukuphepha, njenge-AMD PSD egcina yenza izinto eziningi ngaphandle komgcini ophephile. Amanye amabhodi womama angasebenza ngokukhubaza izici eziningi ze-PSP.
I-Coreboot idinga kuphela ukulayisha inani eliphansi lama-blobs okuphathelene kudingekile ukuze uhlelo lusebenze nakho konke okunye kuzolungiswa ukuvikela i-IP ye-AMD futhi kuvimbele omunye umuntu ekusebenziseni umthombo wephrojekthi ukuthola ubungozi ku-PSP.
Iphrojekthi igcina ikhululeke ngaphezu kwe-firmware ephathelene nomnikazi womthengisi webhodi yomama yamalaptop eSystem76.
Lokhu ngokuyisisekelo kuyefana ne-AMD, ngokusho kwe-NDA, etshela umthengisi webhodi lomama ukuthi angakusebenzisa kanjani ukwesekwa kwe-AGESA yakamuva ku-BIOS yabo, nokuthi ungazisekela kanjani izici zokuphepha ezinika amandla izinto ezifana ne-PSP, i-Secure Boot, njll.
Njengesikhumbuzo, iSystem76 ingumkhiqizi I-American yamakhompyutha Isekelwe eDenver, eColorado, egxile ekuthengisweni kwama-laptops, ama-desktops namaseva.
Inkampani isekela isoftware yomthombo wamahhala nevulekile, enikeza Ubuntu noma ukusatshalaliswa kwayo kwe-Linux okususelwa ku-Ubuntu, "Pop! _OS »njengohlelo lokusebenza olufakwe ngaphambili.
Ngaphezu kokuthuthukisa i-Open Firmware System76 ngemikhiqizo yayo esekwe kuCoreboot, i-EDK2 nezinye izinhlelo zayo.
Okokugcina uma unentshisekelo yokwazi kabanzi ngakho, ungabheka izindaba zokuqala kusixhumanisi esilandelayo.

Kubukeka kungalungile kimi ukuthi ukuze kuvikelwe izici zokusebenza kweprosesa ngenxa ye-IP, iSystem76 inikezwa ilungelo lokunikeza ukuhambisana okuhle kakhulu kwedivayisi ene-AMD isebenzisa i-firmware yomthombo ovulekile, ngoba iSystem76 ingaphatha ikhodi edingekayo ngokususelwa kumadokhumenti akusho ukuthi bangayikhipha kuphrojekthi eyinhloko ye-coreboot ngenxa yezinkinga zezomthetho ze-IP. Ngamanye amagama, i-coreboot engxenyeni ejwayelekile izoqhubeka nokuma okuthile ukusebenzisa imishini nge-AMD, ngaphandle kokuthi uyithenga kusuka kuSystem76.
