1 - SeaBIOS (bios.bin) is the successor of pc bios.
2 See http://www.seabios.org/ for more information.
4 - The VGA BIOS and the Cirrus VGA BIOS come from the LGPL VGA bios
5 project (http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios/).
7 - The PowerPC Open Hack'Ware Open Firmware Compatible BIOS is
8 available at https://repo.or.cz/openhackware.git.
10 - OpenBIOS (http://www.openbios.org/) is a free (GPL v2) portable
11 firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a 100% IEEE
12 1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware.
13 The included images for PowerPC (for 32 and 64 bit PPC CPUs),
14 Sparc32 (including QEMU,tcx.bin and QEMU,cgthree.bin) and Sparc64 are built
15 from OpenBIOS SVN revision 1280.
17 - SLOF (Slimline Open Firmware) is a free IEEE 1275 Open Firmware
18 implementation for certain IBM POWER hardware. The sources are at
19 https://github.com/aik/SLOF, and the image currently in qemu is
20 built from git tag qemu-slof-20190703.
22 - sgabios (the Serial Graphics Adapter option ROM) provides a means for
23 legacy x86 software to communicate with an attached serial console as
24 if a video card were attached. The master sources reside in a subversion
25 repository at http://sgabios.googlecode.com/svn/trunk. A git mirror is
26 available at https://git.qemu.org/git/sgabios.git.
28 - The PXE roms come from the iPXE project. Built with BANNER_TIME 0.
29 Sources available at http://ipxe.org. Vendor:Device ID -> ROM mapping:
31 8086:100e -> pxe-e1000.rom
32 8086:1209 -> pxe-eepro100.rom
33 1050:0940 -> pxe-ne2k_pci.rom
34 1022:2000 -> pxe-pcnet.rom
35 10ec:8139 -> pxe-rtl8139.rom
36 1af4:1000 -> pxe-virtio.rom
38 - The sources for the Alpha palcode image is available from:
39 https://github.com/rth7680/qemu-palcode.git
41 - The u-boot binary for e500 comes from the upstream denx u-boot project where
42 it was compiled using the qemu-ppce500 target.
43 A git mirror is available at: https://git.qemu.org/git/u-boot.git
44 The hash used to compile the current version is: 2072e72
46 - Skiboot (https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/) is an OPAL
47 (OpenPower Abstraction Layer) firmware for OpenPOWER systems. It can
48 run an hypervisor OS or simply a host OS on the "baremetal"
49 platform, also known as the PowerNV (Non-Virtualized) platform.
51 - QemuMacDrivers (https://github.com/ozbenh/QemuMacDrivers) is a project to
52 provide virtualised drivers for PPC MacOS guests.
54 - The "edk2-*.fd.bz2" images are platform firmware binaries and matching UEFI
55 variable store templates built from the TianoCore community's EFI Development
57 <https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II>. The images
58 were built at git tag "edk2-stable201905". The firmware binaries bundle parts
59 of the OpenSSL project, at git tag "OpenSSL_1_1_1b" (the OpenSSL tag is a
60 function of the edk2 tag). Parts of the Berkeley SoftFloat library are
61 bundled as well, at Release 3e plus a subsequent typo fix (commit
62 b64af41c3276f97f0e181920400ee056b9c88037), as an OpenSSL dependency on 32-bit
63 ARM. Licensing information is given in "edk2-licenses.txt". The image files
64 are described by the JSON documents in the "pc-bios/descriptors" directory,
65 which conform to the "docs/interop/firmware.json" schema.
