It is an unfortunate fact,\nas silicon has become more complicated, vendors are using more binaries to\nsupport their silicon. The coreboot community can not control the vendors,\nnor completely eliminate binaries, but it can set standards and expectations\nfor vendor participation. coreboot needs policies and guidelines to meet GPL\nlicence requirements and to organize and maintain standards within coreboot.\n\nTo accept binaries in coreboot 3rdparty/blobs repository, **the binary\nmust meet the following**:\n\n## 1. A publicly available (published) ABI\n\n* In case of non-ISA binary, documented usage conventions are required\n* Examples:\n\n    * The Intel® Firmware Support Package: External Architecture\n      Specification v.1.0\n    * The PCI firmware specification is the ABI for a standard PCI video BIOS.\n    * Vendor microcode loading and placement instructions\n\n## 2. Appropriate license (redistributable)\n\nThe binary must be accompanied by a distribution license. The license\nmust allow unlimited redistribution to allow coreboot contributors to\ncreate coreboot images for third parties which contain this and other blobs.\n\n## 3. Linking\n\nSource code linked into coreboot may not be committed to the binary\nrepository. Such source code and header files must be committed to the\ncoreboot repository instead.\n\n## 4. Binary version\n\nThe binary must contain the version and how to extract the version must\nbe published in the ABI\n\n## 5. Release notes - updated with each version\n\nEach binary release must be accompanied by a release note that contains\nall of the following (if a field is unknown or unavailable, mark it as\nunknown or N/A):\n\n    * version\n    * release date\n    * supported silicon\n    * instructions, requirements, and dependencies\n    * changes since the last version\n    * errata, known issues\n    * toolchain version(s), if applicable\n    * ABI version and link to the published ABI (in the binary repository)\n\n## 6. Good commit message\n\nThe commit message should summarize the release note and contain\nany additional information that might be specific to coreboot. It is\nhelpful to indicate how the binary was tested within coreboot and list\nany known exceptions or errata.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcoreboot%2Fblobs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcoreboot%2Fblobs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcoreboot%2Fblobs/lists"}
