ukiboot 0.2.1+git20260604.ec869c7-1

Package Information

DescriptionUEFI based A/B bootloader

Small UEFI bootloader implementing an A/B boot protocol similar to Android boot.

When installed as EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI, UKIBoot is loaded by the UEFI firmware and chainloads a UEFI binary from either the ukiboot_a or ukiboot_b partition, depending on the active boot slot.

It is primarily intended to boot Unified Kernel Images, which may contain a Linux kernel, initrd and kernel command line, optionally signed for Secure Boot. The slot handling is modelled on Android Verified Boot v2 and supports systems with UEFI firmware only.

This package contains the EFI binaries.
