Kevin O’Connor announced the release of SeaBIOS version 1.9.0 today, on the SeaBIOS, QEMU-devel, and coreboot mailing lists. New in this release:
* The default boot menu key is now the ESC key (instead of F12)
* Initial support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware and BIOS calls
* Initial support for chain loading SeaBIOS from Grub (via multiboot support)
* Initial support for booting from SD cards on real hardware
* virtio 1.0 device support
* The build will no longer include the build hostname or build time on “clean” builds. This makes the build binaries more “reproducible”.
* Basic support for running SeaBIOS on Baytrail Chromebooks
* SeaVGABIOS: improved support for old versions of x86emu (the “leal” instruction is now emulated)
* Several bug fixes and code cleanups
TPM support sounds interesting! And remember, if F12 no longer works, try ESC…
