Not generally, no. It can be, but that's not the point.<br>

Possibly. But the project is about writing an IEEE 1275-1994
standard compliance firmware, not about booting as fast as possible.
If that is what you're looking for, you should check out the
coreboot project at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.coreboot.org/">http://www.coreboot.org/</a><br>

If you're looking for IEEE 1275-1994 compliant firmware in C, you

The OpenBIOS implementation is written in Forth.<br>
