-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-16199 2012-10-16 17:29:45 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : openbios Product : Fedora 18 Version : 1.0.svn1063 Release : 1.fc18 URL : http://www.openfirmware.info/OpenBIOS Summary : OpenBIOS implementation of IEEE 1275-1994 Description : The OpenBIOS project provides you with most free and open source Open Firmware implementations available. Here you find several implementations of IEEE 1275-1994 (Referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware. Among its features, Open Firmware provides an instruction set independent device interface. This can be used to boot the operating system from expansion cards without native initialization code. It is Open Firmware's goal to work on all common platforms, like x86, AMD64, PowerPC, ARM and Mips. With its flexible and modular design, Open Firmware targets servers, workstations and embedded systems, where a sane and unified firmware is a crucial design goal and reduces porting efforts noticably. Open Firmware is found on many servers and workstations and there are sever commercial implementations from SUN, Firmworks, CodeGen, Apple, IBM and others. In most cases, the Open Firmware implementations provided on this site rely on an additional low-level firmware for hardware initialization, such as coreboot or U-Boot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update only changes the version number in order to handle future updates more cleanly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
