-The code in this directory has been taken WITH PERMISSION from
-Gabriel Paubert, paubert@iram.es. The main reason for having
-a separate bootloader for PreP compliant firmware is that the
-initial code is relocated by firmware at an unknow address
-(actually 0x5000 on motorola MCP750) and that as Gabriel I
-think having a relocatable bootloder code is a must.
-
-So the way of building a binary executable that can be booted via
-hard disk or network boot goes like this :
-
- - make a RTEMS executable,
- - put is as data section in the bootloder binary,
- - relink the loader (see make-exe macros for details),
-
-I would like to thank Gabriel for his support and his code.
-The original code can be found in form of a patch to official linux
-kernel at (I insist not vger ppc kernel or Imac ppc kernels!!) :
-
-<ftp://vlab1.iram.es/pub/linux-2.2/>
-
-After applying the patch, the code is located in a new directory
-called prepboot.
-
-(NB : note use ftp not netscape...)
-
-Note that the actual code differs a lot since Gabriel choose to use
-a CHRP compliant mapping instead of a Prep Mapping to save
-BATs. I had no time to upgrade the code to its new one allthough
-I agree it should be done...
-
-I have also splitted the original code to have a more modular
-design enabling to reuse code between the loader and RTEMS
-initialization (e.g printk, ...).
