Public bug reported: Availability: in universe
Rationale: opensbi is a bootloader/firmware component for riscv64. It is used by qemu-system-riscv64 to load uboot-qemu firmware which then can load kernel/initrd of a cloud-image to boot it. It is also used as a build-dependency by u-boot, to create combined uboot-spl (secondary program loader) image. Such a combind image of opensbi+uboot+dtb can be used to create selfcontained bootable firmware on an sd-card, to allow booting SiFive HiFive Boards. Quality assurance: The package simply provides a static datafile. It's upto qemu & u-boot to consume it, which they do. The paths and features it provides are fairly well defined with SBI specifications with uboot and kernel adhere to. Dependencies: It is effectively freestanding ELF object without dependencies. Hence it is packaged as arch:all package. Standards compliance: Packages files in multiarch locations for the supported platforms. Maintenance: In sync with Debian, to be maintained by Foundations, foundations-bugs subscribed. Background information: Example usage with cloud-image is documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RISC-V How it is used by u-boot can be seen in this diff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/508302547/u-boot_2020.10+dfsg- 1ubuntu2_2020.10+dfsg-1ubuntu3.diff.gz Security checks https://github.com/riscv/opensbi/security/advisories There aren't any published security advisories at the moment. The code however runs in M-mode to interface with S-mode & HS-modes, thus this is highly privileged code used as firmware. No executables or shared libraries or daemons shipped. Does not open ports. ** Affects: opensbi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: hirsute ** Changed in: opensbi (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906668 Title: [MIR] opensbi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opensbi/+bug/1906668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
