riscv64\n* loongarch64\n\n### Supported boot protocols\n* Linux\n* [Limine](https://codeberg.org/Limine/limine-protocol/src/branch/trunk/PROTOCOL.md)\n* Multiboot 1\n* Multiboot 2\n* Chainloading\n\n### Supported partitioning schemes\n* MBR\n* GPT\n* Unpartitioned media\n\n### Supported filesystems\n* FAT12/16/32\n* ISO9660 (CDs/DVDs)\n\nIf your filesystem isn't listed here, please read [the FAQ](FAQ.md) first, especially before\nopening issues or pull requests related to this.\n\n### Minimum system requirements\nFor 32-bit x86 systems, support is only ensured starting with those with\nPentium Pro (i686) class CPUs.\n\nAll x86-64, aarch64, riscv64 and loongarch64 (UEFI) systems are supported.\n\n## Packaging status\n\nAll Limine releases since 7.x use [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) for their naming.\n\n[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/limine.svg?columns=3)](https://repology.org/project/limine/versions)\n\n## Binary releases\n\nFor convenience, for point releases, binaries are distributed. These binaries\nare shipped in the `-binary` branches and tags of this repository\n(see [branches](https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine/branches) and\n[tags](https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine/tags)).\n\nFor example, to clone the latest binary release of the `11.x` branch, one can do:\n```bash\ngit clone https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine.git --branch=v11.x-binary --depth=1\n```\nor, to clone a specific binary point release (for example `11.2.1`):\n```bash\ngit clone https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine.git --branch=v11.2.1-binary --depth=1\n```\n\nIn order to rebuild host utilities like `limine`, simply run `make` in the binary\nrelease directory.\n\nHost utility binaries are provided for Windows.\n\n## Build and Install Instructions\n\n*The following steps are not necessary if cloning a binary release.*\n\nSee [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).\n\n## Usage\n\nSee [USAGE.md](USAGE.md).\n\n## 3rd Party Software Acknowledgments\n\nSee [3RDPARTY.md](3RDPARTY.md).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FLimine-Bootloader%2FLimine","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FLimine-Bootloader%2FLimine","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FLimine-Bootloader%2FLimine/lists"}
