Open Source C Boot Software - Page 3

This is a branch from the fxload project, originally part of the linux-hotplug SourceForge project which seems to be abandoned. This branch incorporates the patch from Steven J. Magnani that adds support for Cypress FX3 USB 3.0 endpoint to the fxload utility. It has been tested on Ubuntu 12.04 with the FX3 development kit (part number CYUSB3KIT-001). Oddly, as of January 2013 Cypress doesn't include this utility with its (open source) Linux SDK but requires developers to purchase a copy of MS Windows to be able to program the board. This SourceForge project contains no new code.

mbldr is a boot loader which fits into first sector of an HDD (MBR). It allows to choose which partition to boot and is intended to replace an MBR coming with DOS/Windows (fdisk /mbr). It may boot OSes above 1024cyl, Linux/BSD are also supported.

serel is software that helps computers boot faster. serel adds synchronisation and integrity-checking to the operating system service startup phase, allowing a computer's services to start in parallel.

BootUtils is a collection of utilities to facilitate booting of modern Kernel 2.6 based systems. The process of finding the root volume either by label or explicit label= on the kernel command line, mounting it and 'switchroot'ing is automated.

Fortress OS is an open source modern multitasking operating system. Intel IA-32 386 compatibility. Fortress is clean implemented from scratch. Fortress is still in early stage ( current state at the end of plan 2 ) and needs huge work.

A continuation of the Small Linux Project with a new team of developers. Small Linux is a distro which is designed to run on low-spec computers (386 and 2-3 mb of ram). Built upon uClibc and Busybox.

This is a small program that reads and writes the WakeUp time in the BIOS. This is done via /dev/nvram on recent kernels (>2.4.6, including 2.6.x) or, alternatively, via direct ISA access. On this WakeUp time the computer is powered on automatically.

This project's goal was to develop an open source firmware for Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE and similar AR7 based devices. Projektziel war die Entwicklung einer freien Firmware für Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE und vergleichbare Geräte mit AR7-Prozessor.

ARMboot is an Open-Source firmware suite for ARM based platforms. ARMboot is heavily based on the sister-project PPCboot, which provides similar functionality on PowerPC based systems. ARMboot shall be a common, easy-to-use and easy-to-port boot platform

The Affordable BIOS Restoration Tool provides VHDL and C code to recover from failed BIOS upgrades using affordable CPLD's. EEPROM's and Flash chips can be restored with this flash programmer. Interfaces for DIP and tsop packages are being developed.

This tool allows to boot linux-m68k from a floppy on a macintosh motorola 68K based. With it, you can create rescue disk, or remove the MacOS partition (needed by the legacy penguin booter) from your HD.

Embedded PowerPC Bootloader Project, especially for Embedded PowerPC boards. The code for this project is frozen. Development continues with the "U-Boot" project (Universal Boot Loader, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot ).

Grub Conf is a Gnome2 based GRUB configuration editor. It provides an easy to use interface allowing effortless modification of OS's and the flexibility to configure the most obscure options. Designed to require minimal user interaction.

Minirighi is a multi-threading open-source operating system written for didactic purpose. It has been written from scratch and it is compatible with POSIX.

Linux port to the Realtek RTL8181 wireless gateway SoC.

RemoteBIOS is a set of tools that helps you to writen LinuxBIOS bios, test it flashing only one time the ROM, with remotebios.bin. And you can remotely execute a ELF binary, or a script, for example memory initialization script,etc through Serial Port.

Kernel and utilities to run Linux on small machines, 2-3 megs of ram.

ThinTUX is a small Linux distribution for thin clients. It has support for all major remote access protocols. The distribution can be booted from the network. The configuration is stored on a DHCP server to simplify terminal management.

OpenBoot is a boot loader supporting multi CPU-architectures. It is configurable and portable, and its source codes are enough clear to read.

Boot loader and FLASH burner for the Motorola 68360 processor (aka Power QUICC). Based on CoLILO linux loader for Motorola Coldfire processors, however this boot loader is OS independent. Supports systems with multiple FLASH devices, runs from RAM for f

This project is dedicated for supporting large SMP and cc-NUMA platform configuration using ACPI 2.0 or later, including cc-NUMA configuration support and implementation of various module drivers for hotplug, sleep states and large I/O subsystem.

CEBOOT is a free open source project, just for study something about ARM. It will contains text user interface, simple FS and OS loader. We will prove that "ARM system could run as x86 PC!"
