Hi all,
I think it is time to make a reservation for the Hotel/Hostel. Is there anyone else besides Peter, Sven and Florentin? Just reminding that it take place in Prague on last weekend in May.
The Hackaton topics I have in mind:
- make netconsole work on secondary PCI buses
- implement a gdb stub for coreboot
- fix the u-boot patches/submit them
If you like, I can create a coreboot 'test and development' branch in the u-boot-x86 repository. I think I can relax the rules a little and expedite patches from your hackathon into a central u-boot git repository as a 'testing' branch isolated from mainline
After the hackathon, the coreboot patches can be cleaned up and cherry-picked into u-boot-x86 master (after posting on the u-boot mailing list of course)
Given that the license for u-boot is the same as coreboot (GPLv2 - preferably later) there should be no problem with any overlap code
Any chance we could get a bit of a design for coreboot/u-boot integration sorted before the hackathon? For example: - Formalising the u-boot payload API. For example ELF/binary, compressed/raw, passing memory size, temporary stack location, relocation, transition from u-boot back to coreboot - Can u-boot piggy-back on SeaBIOS loaded by coreboot? - Can we move more hardware init and drivers from coreboot into u-boot and provide more commands in u-boot for coreboot supported boards - VGA & Keyboard support - U-Boot splash screen support - Flash updates from u-boot
- ... (need to get info from the attending guys)
Thanks, Rudolf
I'm really looking forward to the u-boot integration :)
