Open source firmware for what though?

I'm gonna assume this is PC firmware based on the list of players, but I haven't been able to find any conclusive information on the website.

Super annoying when groups like this use an extremely generic term for something very specific and just assume the entire world knows what they mean.

> Open source firmware for what though?

The conference's scope is open source firmware in general, as implied by its name.

The landing page lists ARM as one of the sponsors. The same page also features a list of projects that are represented at the conference. Quotes from their landing pages follow:

- coreboot is ... on modern computers and embedded systems.

- Trusted Firmware provides a reference implementation of secure software for Armv8-A, Armv9-A and Armv8-M.

- The OpenBMC project is a Linux Foundation project whose goal is to produce a customizable, open-source firmware stack for Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs).

- "oreboot for ARM", "oreboot for RISC-V HiFive Unleashed"

- Welcome to TianoCore, the community supporting an open source implementation of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).

- u-bmc is a Linux OS dist ... tailor made for baseboard management controllers.

- U-Boot mentions on their landing page too many architectures and vendors to list here, but here's a few: ARC, M68K, MIPS, Xtensa.

Odd not to see Zephyr mentioned at all, it's got way more activity than most (all?) of the projects listed, and many of the sponsors are actively involved.

Noticed a workshop about that during the last day. Would be great if the conference material gets posted for reference, slides, recordings, anyone know if that's the case ?
