Open-Source

The firmware ecosystem is broken. Closed supply chains, vendor lock-in, and opaque systems leave customers without control over the platforms they own. We're here to change that.

Philosophy

Open-Source First

Open-source isn't just a development model for us—it's a strategic commitment. We believe that true ownership requires transparency, and that customers deserve control over the platforms they depend on.

Customer Dedication

Your ownership, your control. We align our engineering with your outcomes—not our lock-in strategies.

Open-Source First

This isn't opportunistic. Open-source is our strategic foundation. Everything we build starts with openness and transparency.

Upstream First

We build solutions for our own problems, then contribute them upstream. No proprietary forks. No fragmentation. Just shared innovation.

Taking Risks

We do what others won't. Building open-source firmware requires reverse engineering, diving into undocumented systems, and pushing boundaries.

In Action

We built the ecosystem.

We don't just contribute to open-source. We run it, lead it, and build the infrastructure that makes it sustainable. From conferences to foundations to managed distributions, we're creating the ecosystem that open-source firmware needs.

Open-Source Firmware Conference (OSFC)

We run the premier conference for open-source firmware, bringing together developers, vendors, and adopters from around the world.

Active Development

Our team contributes daily to coreboot, openBMC, LinuxBoot, and other critical open-source firmware projects. We don't just use open-source—we build it.

Benefits

True Ownership. Real Security. No Lock-In.

Open-source firmware fundamentally changes the relationship between customers and their platforms. Instead of licensing firmware from a vendor who controls your hardware, you own the entire stack.

For Innovation

For Your Business

True Ownership

Control your platform completely. Modify, audit, and extend your firmware without vendor permission.

No Vendor Lock-In

Switch vendors, extend support indefinitely, or bring development in-house. You're never stuck.

Long-Term Support

Your platform isn't abandoned when vendor support ends. The code is yours to maintain and evolve.

Cost Control

Eliminate recurring licensing fees and reduce dependency on expensive vendor support contracts.

For Security

End-to-End Control

Know exactly who's in control at every layer of your stack—from hardware initialization to OS boot.

Full Auditability

Complete transparency for security reviews, compliance requirements, and vulnerability assessment.

No Hidden Backdoors

See every line of code running on your hardware. No binary blobs, no opaque vendor modules.

Rapid Response

When vulnerabilities are discovered, fix them immediately—without waiting for vendor patch cycles.

For Innovation

Community-Driven Development

Benefit from contributions across the entire ecosystem—not just one vendor's roadmap.

Faster Development Cycles

Many eyes make bugs shallow. Open collaboration accelerates development and quality.

Standardization

Shared solutions reduce fragmentation and create industry-wide best practices.

Future-Proof

Open-source outlasts any single vendor. Your investment is protected by the community.

Now

The Time is Now

In the 90s and 2000s, Linux transformed from a niche experiment to the dominant operating system for servers, embedded systems, and cloud infrastructure. Firmware is at the same inflection point today.

If you want control and ownership—make open-source a buying decision.

→ Major silicon vendors are investing in open-source firmware
→ Hyperscalers and cloud providers are demanding transparency
→ Security requirements are driving adoption of auditable firmware
→ The ecosystem is maturing with stable releases, long-term support, and enterprise-ready solutions

Commitment

From Services to Managed Solutions

We started with services and evolved into managed solutions as we encountered recurring challenges in the ecosystem—fragmentation, proprietary forks, and uneven releases. Both services and managed solutions are first-class offerings, built on the same principles: upstream-first, fully open-source, and aligned with customer success.
