Add Ampere's Case Study for LinuxBoot on Mt. Jade platform #96
Conversation
The Ampere Mt. Jade platform exemplifies how LinuxBoot can transform traditional EDK2 firmware, making it open, flexible, and efficient. With all code publicly available, it stands as a powerful case for open source firmware adoption in modern server architectures. Signed-off-by: Nhi Pham <nhi@os.amperecomputing.com>

This is really great stuff. It is also a major step forward, with your BDS implementation.
I love the figure. I wonder if you can comment at some point about how many DXEs there are in non-linuxboot implementation? We typically removed hundreds ...
Thanks for this fantastic writeup.

you are the first! This was always the dream!
Hi @rminnich, the non-linuxboot (EDK2) implementation includes ~309 PEI/DXE modules. |
