  • Uniflash (nonlinux)
  • flashrom (LinuxBIOS)

Other Open Source Firmware Implementations

  • LinuxBIOS - The LinuxBIOS project bootstraps systems to the point where they can run an OS kernel from flash or over Ethernet using Etherboot.
  • FreeBIOS - The FreeBIOS sourceforge project hosts all of the LinuxBIOS source code in CVS.
  • TIARA - TIARA, an Openbios/GRUB/PFORTH composite, BIOS replacement (dead?)
  • GBIOS - GBIOS is a GPLed firmware for PowerPC G3/G4 and some Motorola cpus.
  • Proll - Proll is a firmware replacement for SUN JavaStations to boot Linux

Virtual Machines and Emulation

  • QEMU
  • XEN
  • Bochs - portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator
  • DOSemu - DOS Emulation for Linux
  • Plex86 - extensible open source PC virtualization software
