rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 3b49cb15a2 boards: the amd64 target is PC -- a generic x86-64 UEFI PC, not the SER5
Captain Bob, 2026-10-14: "change to PC, not SER5. it's not supposed to be
specific, but PC generic."  boards/ser5 -> boards/pc, TARGET=PC,
lithos-pc.img; the image was never specific to one machine (the generic
UEFI/ACPI path, FABRIC-3 III).  The Beelink SER5 stays named where the text
means the unit on the bench (its Secure Boot, BIOS, serial header) and in
the records.  Built: lithos-pc.img, system=v4, with its SBOM.

PC boot media (generic x86-64, UEFI)

make boot_image TARGET=PC builds build/boards/pc/lithos-pc.img: a GPT disk with one FAT32 EFI System Partition, for any x86-64 PC whose UEFI firmware boots a removable medium. Write it to a USB stick with dd. The partition holds:

  • EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI: the amd64 monolithic loader, with the whole kernel embedded. Firmware finds it through the UEFI removable-media path, so no boot entry has to be created.
  • startup.nsh: runs the loader if the firmware drops into the UEFI shell.
  • starforth.cfg: the boot arguments -- system=v4 as built; change the word to system=v3 to boot v3 (and KERNEL_ARGS="..." adds to it).

Beside the image, lithos-pc.spdx / .spdx.json: its SBOM, every file on it with its SHA-256.

Nothing in the image is specific to one machine: it follows the generic UEFI/ACPI path in FABRIC-3.md §III. Until 2026-10-14 this target was named SER5, after the first PC to be brought up -- a Beelink SER5 (AMD Ryzen), which is still the one on the bench (boards/BRINGUP.md).

Status: booted in QEMU (q35 + OVMF, from this image as its own disk): v4 as built, v3 with system=v3. Not yet booted on real hardware.
