Libreboot (briefly known as GNU Libreboot) is a free software project based on coreboot, aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS firmware used by most computers. Libreboot is a lightweight system designed to perform only the minimum number of tasks necessary to load and run a modern 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.
Characteristics[edit]
Libreboot was established as a distribution of coreboot in 2013,[2] but with some proprietary binary blobs removed from coreboot.[3] According to Kyle Rankin writing for Linux Journal in 2015, Libreboot "greatly simplified and automated" the flashing process, "with a few caveats".[4][5] On some devices, Libreboot developers have reverse engineered the firmware from Intel and created a utility to create a free firmware that meets the specifications from Intel.[6] Supported hardware includes the ThinkPad T400,[7] X60[4][5] and X200.[8]
