Open Source Boot Software

Updated 2026/01/24: Turn your PC into the ultimate shortwave radio. Skywave Linux is an X86, 64 bit live environment configured for accessing internet accessible software defined radio receivers. With this operating system, you may tune in popular stations or amateur radio, aeronautical, maritime, or other signals received at remote internet servers around the world. For a live map of the best KiwiSDR and WebSDR servers and a nice "click to tune" interface, Use the installed SDR-Map utility to find radio servers and listen from interesting places. Also, I have set up a self-updating SDR Map at https://rx.skywavelinux.com. An internet radio streamer application is also included for popular studio streams. Bring it up with keys [Super] + [S]. SDR software is configured to operate with popular plug-in devices, such as the RTL-SDR dongles, Airspy, and, HackRF radios. Skywave Linux is built on Debian Sid. It is primarily a live environment, but can be fully installed.

An program to easily go into the UEFI/BIOS in Windows by rebooting the system into UEFI/BIOS mode. WinUEFI helps you to easily get into your firmware settings (UEFI/BIOS). Here can settings such as time, boot device and other options be changed. This reboots your device directly into it with one click.

This community project provides an admin interface for Spring Boot applications. The applications register with our Spring Boot Admin Client (via HTTP) or are discovered using Spring Cloud (e.g. Eureka, Consul). The UI is just a Vue.js application on top of the Spring Boot Actuator endpoints. Support for Python applications is available using Pyctuator. First, you need to setup your server. To do this just setup a simple boot project (using start.spring.io). As Spring Boot Admin Server is capable of running as servlet or webflux application, you need to decide on this and add the according Spring Boot Starter. Monitoring Python applications is available using Pyctuator. If you want to use a snapshot version of Spring Boot Admin Server you most likely need to include the spring and sonatype snapshot repositories. Each application that wants to register has to include the Spring Boot Admin Client.

OpenBLT is mostly used as an STM32 bootloader, due to the popularity of STM32 microcontrollers. However, the bootloader’s architecture is such that it can work with any microcontroller and use any type of communication interface to perform firmware updates.

Small universal tool for handling USART STM32 bootloader. Works with all STM32 family devices (also with newest STM32F4 and STM32F0). Dedicated especially for Linux users. Works in shell. There are plans to make a GUI overlay.

IXP4xx (IXP425, 422, 421, 420) BSP for Windows CE (wince/Windows Embedded Compact) 4.2/5.0/6.0/7.0

This is a branch from the fxload project, originally part of the linux-hotplug SourceForge project which seems to be abandoned. This branch incorporates the patch from Steven J. Magnani that adds support for Cypress FX3 USB 3.0 endpoint to the fxload utility. It has been tested on Ubuntu 12.04 with the FX3 development kit (part number CYUSB3KIT-001). Oddly, as of January 2013 Cypress doesn't include this utility with its (open source) Linux SDK but requires developers to purchase a copy of MS Windows to be able to program the board. This SourceForge project contains no new code.

CIniFile is a C++ class to read and write inifiles in microsoft ini format. There is also a plain C version available. IniFiles.

This project is for a PE Builder plug-in for the Ext2Fsd software. I decided to develope this solution in order to be able to scan ext2/ext3 partitions using KAV/KIS anti-virus Rescue Disk which is created with PE Builder.

Creates comfortable menus for your multiboot CD or DVD.

A little operating system created in order to discover the basis of the modern operating system in practice.

This project's goal was to develop an open source firmware for Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE and similar AR7 based devices. Projektziel war die Entwicklung einer freien Firmware für Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE und vergleichbare Geräte mit AR7-Prozessor.

fast single-privilege single-address-space preemptive-multithreading persistent data-centric secure multiuser operating system with safe-language and reconfigurable graphical interface

To boot and run your experimental assembly language programs, booting them with either a USB Memory Stick or a DVD. This is Not for Linux. Program only tested on Windows 7 Laptop. The Memory Sticks have to be formatted FAT 32 with a Volume Label = "FINDING" ). The memory stick should have 1 single Fat32 partition It must be of very low capacity, of 128 Meg bytes maximum? Because the memory stick must Not have a MBR system. Copy your own experimental program to the empty memory stick as a file. Log off, turn off the computer, turn back on, press a number and your program should be able to run with computer booting and in "Real mode".. Booting-Aids_2_ can do several things which have a definite educational value, because booting lets your own programs run without an operating system until they can become like a small operating system of their own. Your programs have to be marked with the number 9090h at their exact start. It can be written like this: dw 9090h

(C)reate (W)inpe 20 ISO is a command line tool to automate the generation of customized bootable WinPE 2.0 or WinPE 3.0 ISO Images.

JTAG-O-MAT is a simple but highly configurable command line tool for Win32 and Linux based PCs, mainly used to upload initial software to virgin embedded system via a JTAG interface.

This project aims to make GNU/Linux really usable in the LGPL SPARCv8 processor called LEON.

MuOS is a Operating System for x86-compatible hardware.

A microkernel operating system distribution offering (among other things) very low hardware requirements, full and easy portability and easy-readable source code.

FORTH for embedded PPC (IBM40x supported). Currently written in assembler (ASL dialect). Used for monitor or loading other programs via S-Records.

readahead-ng implements a library for using readahead() on Linux. It includes monitoring and replay of file access and special handling of ELF files to improve readahead efficiency.

Small registry system for all kind of softwares(including embedded softwares) to save their properties. Software can save their property even on network server so users can have same environment wherever they are using the software.

RemoteBIOS is a set of tools that helps you to writen LinuxBIOS bios, test it flashing only one time the ROM, with remotebios.bin. And you can remotely execute a ELF binary, or a script, for example memory initialization script,etc through Serial Port.

This project was previously oriented towards creating an AI based Operating System. However new visitors should refer to www.theasciiproject.com for information about what this project has developed into.
