EBBR: Standard Boot for Embedded Platforms - Lecture

Explore the Embedded Base Boot Requirements (EBBR) project in this 39-minute conference talk by Grant Likely from Arm. Dive into the challenges of booting embedded systems and learn about the new effort to standardize the boot process for embedded platforms. Discover how EBBR aims to define a subset of the UEFI standard implementable with upstream U-Boot, addressing the unique needs of embedded systems. Gain insights into the project's goals, current state of the EBBR document, and progress in creating reference platforms using QEMU models and popular development boards. Follow the discussion on firmware history, standardization efforts, implementation independence, fast booting, security considerations, and specific applications like Raspberry Pi. Benefit from Grant Likely's expertise as a Linux kernel engineer and his work on the Devicetree subsystem, providing valuable insights into the future of embedded system booting.
