coreboot, formerly known as LinuxBIOS,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Since coreboot initializes the bare hardware, it must be ported to every chipset and motherboard that it supports. As a result, coreboot is available only for a limited number of hardware platforms and motherboard models. There are also variants of coreboot, including Libreboot and SageBIOS. == History == The coreboot project began in the winter of 1999 in the Advanced Computing Laboratory at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL),〔coreboot FAQ: (Who is working on coreboot? )〕 with the goal of creating a BIOS that would start fast and handle errors intelligently.〔Anton Borisov: ''(The Open Source BIOS is Ten. An interview with the coreboot developers )''. The H, 2009.〕 It is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Main contributors include LANL, SiS, AMD, Coresystems and Linux Networx, Inc, as well as motherboard vendors MSI, Gigabyte and Tyan, which offer coreboot alongside their standard BIOS or provide specifications of the hardware interfaces for some of their motherboards. However, Tyan seems to have ceased support of coreboot. Google partly sponsors the coreboot project.〔(Google Sponsors the LinuxBIOS project )〕 CME Group, a cluster of futures exchanges, began supporting the coreboot project in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CME Group Dives Into Coreboot and Other Linux Open Source Projects )〕 Coreboot has been accepted in seven consecutive years (2007–2014) for the Google Summer of Code. Other than the first three models, all Chromebooks run Coreboot. Code from Das U-Boot has been assimilated to enable support for processors based on the ARM instruction set.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GSoC2011(Week 1): Analysis of U-boot ARM boot code | coreboot developer blogs )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coreboot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
