Intel will work with CollabNet to release open-source code designed to make the boot-up process for PCs and servers more predictable and faster.
By opening up the code, hardware makers will be able to more efficiently write their drivers as well as anticipate any changes in the input-output system, Richmond said. Additionally, Intel's firmware foundation code will be written in the C programming language.
