It has a free program that initializes the hardware, shows a menu of kernels to run and boots one of them, supports network booting and flashing itself. It's not compatible with x86 BIOSes and is more powerful (when using an ext2 boot partition there is no need for grub). The program is called PMON and such programs are sometimes referred to as boot firmware (this name would be confusing here). > I know the newer one has a non-free > 3d accelerated graphics chipset for instance. It's not available yet, the chipset might be a problem. Although even without 2d or 3d acceleration it could be better than SMI712 used in current YeeLoongs.
