Builds of iPXE pinned to a specific upstream release, with an embedded script that chainloads /config.ipxe.
This repository builds iPXE binaries from a pinned upstream version (currently v2.0.0) with an embedded script that chainloads /config.ipxe relative to the TFTP server that iPXE was booted from.
iPXE v2.0.0 (released 2026-03-06) includes critical improvements over the previously used v0.0.5 build:
- Broadcom NetXtreme-E (BCM57508) error-recovery fix — resolves PXE boot failures with BCM57508 NICs running firmware 23.21.13.34 and later.
- UEFI Secure Boot support.
- New CPU architecture support (LoongArch64, RISC-V).
- TLS improvements (DHE, ECDHE, GCM, X25519, P-256/P-384, ECDSA).
- Additional NIC drivers (Intel 100GbE, Marvell AQtion, Google GVE, and more).
Binaries are built with HTTPS support enabled for the following iPXE build targets:

Also included is a bofied configuration file (config.go) and an example iPXE script (config.ipxe).
A release .tar.gz archive is uploaded to GitHub releases. The coresmd container automatically fetches the latest release at build time.
