Support for chiplets, heterogeneous computing, and a step away from U.S.-based standards are key features of China's BIOS replacement.

    If it leads to desktop/phone for RISC-V and possibly ARM being as nice as x86 for basic installation, I’d be happy

    My question is will it be supported by phones, or just be limited to desktop/industrial motherboards the same as UEFI? Also the name is worse than EFI. I like that EFI abandoned calling it BIOS (whatever that’s supposed to mean).

    I hope it’s also simpler than EFI and that Linix quickly implements support for it (which will presumably happen).

      BIOS stands for Basic Input-Output System

        right but what do those words mean? BIOS is only called BIOS because that’s what IBM or whoever decided to call it, decades and decades ago. There’s no reason to use that to name a new standard in 2025. At least have the word “firmware” in there somewhere!

    Seems like they are prioritizing fundamental dependencies in the tech-stack.
