The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ampere's New 128-Core Arm Workstation Runs Windows
Almost certainly the former as the latter is barely usable (if not outright unusable). Ampere says the Altra and Altra Max are compliant with Arm SBSA and SBBR, so compliant OSes that support UEFI and ACPI should just work (no need for SoC-specific kernel trees/etc like you tend to find on SBCs with lower-end SoCs). The devkit product page also mentions that it uses "open source EDKII" firmware. It looks like Ampere released the source code for their EDK II port and is working on upstreaming it. They also published a guide on how to build the firmware.

You can get the entire debian archive in a disc set and essentially live offline.
There's an rpi3/4 edk2 uefi firmware you'd have to use in order to run it, but it does exist

Intel Confirms Alder Lake BIOS Source Code Leak, New Details Emerge
It's not entirely open source (it still depends on the FSP binaries), but Intel has released UEFI initialization code for older platforms. They also contribute platform support to coreboot (though this also depends on the FSP).

Chromebooks will get 10 years of automatic updates
Why BIOS (did you mean UEFI?) when it runs the best boot loader, which is Coreboot¹. Many users would love to re-flash their bios/uefi for it, if it’s supported.

C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?
Coreboot is 0.6% C++.

Asus flip c302 last update
You can also use Mr. Chromebox Script to install Coreboot on your chromebook to get a UEFI BIOS on your Chromebook and then you can go an install either a linux distro or even Windows if you want. It's a pretty straightforward process and also reversable if you want to go back to just using ChromeOS.

AMD to move to open source firmware in 2026
There may be other protections to restrict SPI flash access for security reasons (so you might not be able to flash your custom firmware in the OS), but worst case you can use a HW flasher (or maybe USB flashback). Still, this doesn't address the elephant in the room - platform initialization code might be open-sourced, but that isn't everything. You'll still need to figure out the board-specific stuff (the Super I/O chip, chipset GPIOs, other peripherals, etc.). Using coreboot as an example, Intel provides the Firmware Support Package blob to handle platform initialization. I think AGESA is somewhat similar to this, though Intel publicly releases the binaries for use in coreboot/etc. Thanks to the FSP, coreboot has support for recent Intel chipsets. However, there is only support for two recent consumer boards: the MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi DDR4 and DDR5.
