In other news, I managed to learn even more about #uboot today. Still unsure if it was a good idea for society to go with U-Boot over sane alternatives, like #barebox ?

Why can't we all just agree to move on from #uboot to #barebox instead? My sanity would be secure and the world would be a better place ...

#Microsoft used its #AI-powered #SecurityCopilot to discover 20 previously unknown vulnerabilities in the #GRUB2, #UBoot, and #Barebox #opensource #bootloaders.
GRUB2 (GRand Unified Bootloader) is the default boot loader for most #Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, while U-Boot and Barebox are commonly used in embedded and #IoT devices.

Thanks to the fine folks over at @stratum0, the #barebox.LiberaChat IRC channel is now again bridged to #Matrix.

Stop by at https://app.element.io/#/room/#barebox:matrix.org if you are curious, have questions or want to idle without setting up your own bouncer. :matrix: 🚀

Want to know about the #Barebox bootloader?
Come see a cool demo at the #OSFW #38C3 assembly!

You can play Snake on it. 🐍 🕹️

@a3f Come drop by to talk everything open source firmware, embedded bootloaders, #barebox or just play a round and take^Wearn some stickers.

@rschwebel sounds interesting.

How big or small is #barebox?

Cuz I have some issues with #mlb and #isolinux is thoo #thicc for @OS1337 ...

15 years of #barebox bootloader! #Pengutronix

Got #barebox to run on #PineTab2

🎉 A recipe for barebox is now upstream in openembedded-core! 📦 Starting with Yocto Walnascar integrating barebox into your Yocto projects will be easier than ever. Thanks @ejoerns for bringing this to the finishing line! 🎯

Wrapping up the barebox demo @FrOSCon soon. Thank you to the visitors who stopped by! We had a great time playing some snake with you, helping you try out the tutorial or showing you, that yes, of course it runs (bare)DOOM. #barebox #DOOM #blinkenlights #FrOSCon19 #FrOSCon2024

@pengutronix Dieses Jahr mit einer #barebox Demo im Gepäck! #FrOSCon2024 #FrOSCon19

okay
let see if this works
#sunxi #barebox

Want some #barebox swag? Come to the #coreboot booth in building K level 2 #FOSDEM @barebox

good progress on porting #barebox on the pine64 (Allwinner #sunxi A64)

I've managed get a barebox image capable to boot #linux under 108KB... only 16 bytes left...

Sadly it fails very early during the boot 😢
I am not very familiar with the Linux kernel boot image. I am not sure where the entry point should go

Heute mal wieder #barebox hacken zur Abwechslung. Bin schon gar nicht mehr gewohnt an Dinge zu fassen, die einem *nicht* dauernd das Leben schwer machen. Life *could* be that easy...
