#SecureComputing

@samirx The idea of something like @OS1337 on a #ROM chip is that it it basically hardwired ROM so one can only read it and it could do some signature and checksum checking.

Granted this is a sort-of primitive #SecureComputing aimed at making #SSH-#Terminals tick...

Something @stman and @landley did inspire me in part...

Speaking of #ROMs for #ix86 / #amd64: Does anyone know a good way to implement something like #Linux in #ROM like the #Tandy #1000RL & #1000RLX did with #MSDOS & #DeskMate (as @vwestlife showed)...

  • Or is this something that requires either going down the #PCIe -> #PCI -> #ISA rabbit hole?

I mean, it would be a way cleaner setup to boot OS/1337 to than booting a #CDROM?

  • If noone has an Idea how to make this happen, is there any good way or existing solution to basically make a hardware write-protectable / #readonly #USB flashdrive to boot from?

Ideally something that can take #BIOS-style ROM Chips that one can put on a board without write-enable connected so they're read-only!

Still having like a #minimalist #Linux distro in Boot-ROM would be nifty, espechally when it comes to making a #SecureComputing "#SSH #Terminal"...

  • Maybe @ActionRetro, @mos_8502 and others can point this question to people who are firm in boot ROMs and potentially even have something at hand.

(I don't expect something like a PCI(e Mini)Card but I'd not be against it!)
