coreboot for the Switch
3335adb771
mostly undocumented, had a broken coding style, contained lots of dead code and had several other problems, e.g. it enabled write access to the ROM (why?), it unconditionally enabled primary/secondary IDE (which should have a config option) and that even _twice_ (which is um... wrong). The new code - has 'ide0_enable' and 'ide1_enable' config options (which actually work) to enable/disable the primary/secondary IDE interface in Config.lb. - Does _not_ enable write access to the ROM (or is there some good reason to do that? If so, it should at least have a config option). - Contains a bit more documentation. - Uses readable (and documented) #defines instead of hardcoded magic values. - aaand... it actually compiles ;-) Yep, that's right. The previous code wouldn't even build, as it hadn't been fully ported from v1 (still used v1 functions which are simply not available in v2).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS README ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinuxBIOS is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes one of many possible payloads, e.g. a Linux kernel. Payloads -------- After the basic initialization of the hardware has been performed, any desired "payload" can be started by LinuxBIOS. Examples include: * A Linux kernel * FILO (a simple bootloader with filesystem support) * GRUB2 (a free bootloader; support is in development) * OpenBIOS (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * Open Firmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * SmartFirmware (a free IEEE1275-1994 Open Firmware implementation) * GNUFI (a free, UEFI-compatible firmware) * Etherboot (for network booting and booting from raw IDE or FILO) * ADLO (for booting Windows 2000 or OpenBSD) * Plan 9 (a distributed operating system) * memtest86 (for testing your RAM) Supported Hardware ------------------ LinuxBIOS supports a wide range of chipsets, devices, and mainboards. For details please consult: * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Motherboards * http://www.linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Website and Mailing List ------------------------ Further details on the project, a FAQ, many HOWTOs, news, development guidelines and more can be found on the LinuxBIOS website: http://www.linuxbios.org You can contact us directly on the LinuxBIOS mailing list: http://www.linuxbios.org/Mailinglist Copyright and License --------------------- The copyright on LinuxBIOS is owned by quite a large number of individual developers and companies.
