[LinuxBIOS] Nifty device for SPI chips
by Richard Smith May 1, 2007

May 1, 2007

I just got back from an extended stay in Asia and while I was there was introduced to a nifty little device for SPI flash chips. When the mfgs all switch to SPI it may actually be much easier to deal with non-socket flashes. http://www.dediprog.com/product.php?UID=12 $275 US gets you a programmer + the hardware to hook it up to your board. The way it works is by asserting the HOLD pin on the SPI flash which almost all SPI flash parts have. So the flash thats soldered on board is suspended and you boot from the one in the adapter. The only requirement is to have the HOLD pin pulled up via a resistor rather than tied directly to the SPI part's Vcc. Even if it is tied directly to Vcc working around it would only involve cutting a single trace or lifting the HOLD pin. -- Richard A. Smith smithbone(a)gmail.com

[LinuxBIOS] Booting Windows XP / Vista - Google Summer of Code
by Augusto Pedroza April 30, 2007

April 30, 2007

Hi there, I am very excited for having been selected for GSoC with such a challenging project. My project consists of booting windows Xp /Vista on LinuxBIOS. Right now, I have the following responsibilities: 1. Evaluating which of the following projects will best fit our needs - using a dedicated LinuxBIOS loader (ie. adapting ReactOS<http://www.reactos.org/>FREELDR) - booting Windows on top of Linux using kexec<http://www.xmission.com/%7Eebiederm/files/kexec/README> /kboot <http://kboot.sourceforge.net/> - fixing ADLO <http://linuxbios.org/ADLO> so that it boots Vista/XP and removing the mainboard dependencies in it's code. 2. I have been figuring out what are the main differences in between Windows XP and Vista booting process. I already got some papers by Ron Minnich, Adam Sulmicki ( http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/winint/index2.html) and Boot Configuration Data in Windows Vista by Microsoft (* http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/firmware/bcd.mspx* ). I would appreciate any suggestions, tools you guys think that would be useful. Thanks a lot and hope to have a great summer, -- Augusto Pedroza
