oreboot README
oreboot is a downstream fork of coreboot, i.e. oreboot is coreboot without 'c'.
oreboot will only target truly open systems requiring no binary blobs. For now, that means no x86. oreboot is mostly written in Rust, with assembly where needed.
oreboot currently only plans to support LinuxBoot payloads.

Oreboot+QEMU for ARM:
Build Requirements
- Rust
- Device tree compiler
Building oreboot
To setup your Rust environment for oreboot, see below:
# Install some tools we will need later sudo apt install device-tree-compiler pkg-config libssl-dev # Install rustup curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh # Apply the Rust environment to your current shell source $HOME/.cargo/env # Install cargo-make cargo install cargo-make # NOTE: The following needs to be run in the root of the oreboot directory cd oreboot/ rustup override set nightly # Set the nightly rust compiler to be used for oreboot cargo make setup # Install a few compiler tools
Occasionally you want to run rustup update
to keep your Rust up-to-date. A good idea is to make sure you have the latest version before reporting any issues.
To build oreboot for a specific platform, do like this:
# Build for RISC-V export OREBOOT="${PWD}" cd src/mainboard/sifive/hifive cargo make # Debug cargo make -p release # Optimized # View disassembly cargo make objdump -p release # Alternatively, without setting OREBOOT, you can do like this cargo make --env OREBOOT="${PWD}" --cwd src/mainboard/sifive/hifive
QEMU
# Install QEMU for your target platform, e.g. x86 sudo apt install qemu-system-x86 # Build release build and start with QEMU cargo make --env OREBOOT="${PWD}" --cwd src/mainboard/emulation/qemu-q35 run -p release # Quit qemu with CTRL-A X
To build QEMU from source for RISC-V:
git clone https://github.com/qemu/qemu && cd qemu mkdir build-riscv64 && cd build-riscv64 ../configure --target-list=riscv64-softmmu make -j$(nproc) # QEMU binary is at riscv64-softmmu/qemu-system-riscv64

Ground Rules
- The build tool is cargo-make; there will be no GNU Makefiles.
- Cargo.toml files are located in the src/mainboard/x/y directories. which will allow us to build all boards in parallel.
- All code is auto-formatted with rustfmt with no exceptions. There are no vestiges of the 19th century such as line length limits.
- There will be no C.
- We will not run our own Gerrit. We are using Github for now, and the github Pull Request review mechanism.
- We will not run our own Jenkins. We will use the most appropriate CI; for now, that is Azure but we will be flexible.
Ground Rules for x86
- We prefer all pieces of the firmware to be open-source; but can accept an ME and FSP binary blob for x86 architectures.
- Blobs must be essential to boot the system and not provide any extraneous functionality which could not be implemented in Oreboot.
- Blobs must be redistributable and are ideally available on GitHub.
- Blobs must not be submitted to github.com/oreboot/oreboot. We prefer blobs to be submitted to github.com/oreboot/blobs, github.com/coreboot/blobs or some other GitHub repository.
- The blobs must be in a binary format. No additional C code, assembly files or header files are acceptable.
- Any compromises to the language safety features of Rust must be explicitly stated.
As a "measure" for how open-source firmware is, use the percentage of the final binary size. For example, if 70% of the firmware bytes are closed-source blob and 30% built from Oreboot source code, we would say the firmware is 30% open-source.
