There is very little duplicated here. The ADLO in coreboot relies on building the BOCHS bios from source with dev86, but the payloads/adlo uses the new legacybios version. The only thing that is exactly the same is one of the elf headers.
Can you elaborate? I think I never heard of legacybios so far. What's the purpose and history and relation to ADLO of that? Does it _replace_ ADLO completely or enhance it or... ? Also, from a quick glance it doesn't seem to be written specifically for coreboot, what's the original purpose (just curious)?
Do you have a comparison between ADLO as in v2 svn vs. legacybios?
Also note that legacybios is GPLv3, not sure if that's a problem for us. Do we link GPLv2 code against that?
Thanks, Uwe.
