Intel to open source EFI firmware codeIntel to open source EFI firmware codePosted Jun 3, 2004 13:23 UTC (Thu) by ccchips (subscriber, #3222)Parent article: Intel to open source EFI firmware code This kind of thing is definitely a step in the right direction. It shouldn't be long until we see commonly-available computers with "monitor" software again. This is something I really missed when the vendors started replacing it with a Microsoft product (GWBasic in ROM.) I've always wanted a good, solid set of diagnostic tools bundled with the hardware. The fact that this part (the boot process) is being shuttled to FOSS is a great start!
