#barebox — Public Fediverse posts

#barebox is totally awesome, just got to toy around with it a little, as they provide a TinyEMU WASM demo for it -> https://www.barebox.org/demo/?graphic=0 , while I hack on packaging it as a bootloader for guix (building/configuring it works exactly like kconfig/kbuild so coming up with a package isn't too difficult)

If you are at #39c3 and are curious about how kernel and firmware use #OpenFirmware device tree to discover hardware and how @barebox (and other bootloaders) use it when booting Linux, come by tomorrow at 13:00 at the open source firmware assembly in Hall 3 Foyer!

If you can't make it and you don't find me near the #barebox demo at the assembly, shoot me a message, I am happy to meet up and chat about all things #embedded #linux, barebox and liberating boot!

@danct12 #barebox sounds like u-boot but better

I tried RK3568 MIPI DSI patches from @a3f for #barebox and I got a display out on my #pinetab2 :)

Ui, nice. #Barebox kann mit dem v2025.06.0 Release HS200 für eMMCs auf i.MX

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.

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...

Nach ungefähr 2h herum-hacksoren in U-Boot sehnt man sich ja schon sehr arg nach #barebox zurück...
