ByteDance held the “Cloud Firmware Exchange Salon” event in Beijing this week, and released Cloud Firmware 2.0 to realize the product coreboot firmware solution. According to reports from foreign technology media Phoronix, members of the Coreboot project participated in this salon event, and ByteDance cooperated with Lenovo to initially add support for LinuxBoot.
LinuxBoot is a free software project that aims to replace most of the driver execution environment modules in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface firmware with the Linux kernel.
Initiated by Google, LinuxBoot has been promoted as a Linux Foundation project in the past few years, and more and more large-scale enterprises are interested in this project.
ByteDance and Lenovo see LinuxBoot as “a powerful firmware solution with many potential benefits.” In the presentation, it stated that it wants to support more application scenarios, and there is still a lot of work to be done.
