Git repository

Links to regular release archives are listed on this page.

However, for the absolute most bleeding edge up-to-date version of GNU Boot, there is a Git repository that you can download from. Go here:

How to download GNU Boot from Git

FTP mirrors

These mirrors are recommended, since they use TLS (https://) encryption.

You can download GNU Boot from these mirrors:

Statically linked

Libreboot includes statically linked executables in some releases, built from the available source code. Those executables have certain libraries built into them, so that the executables will work on many GNU+Linux distros.

Libreboot 20160907 was built in Trisquel GNU+Linux, version 7.0 64-bit. Some older Libreboot releases will have been built in Trisquel 6.0.1.

To comply with GNU GPL v2, Trisquel 6 and 7 source ISOs are supplied by the Libreboot project. You can find these source ISOs in the ccsource directory on the rsync mirrors.

Libreboot releases past version 20160907 do not distribute statically linked binaries. Instead, these releases are source-only, besides pre-compiled ROM images for which the regular Libreboot source code archives suffice. These newer releases instead automate the installation of build dependencies, with instructions in the documentation for building various utilities from source.

These executables are utilities such as flashrom.
