totalimpact briq?

[Stefan Reinauer]

Hi,

how should the totalimpact briq target work? When I build it, I get an
elf image as the resulting linuxbios.rom. Is this intended?

Generally I would ask if you are seeing the payload at the top
of the romimage.  But that is one of the ppc targets isn't it?

I guess that is a question for Greg.

For experimenting i build with a payload of /dev/null (as generated by
abuild.sh). The binary is around 200k instead of an expected size of 2^x
with x from {17,18,19,20}

It is a ppc target, so basically, yes.

Hi Stefan,

I did it this way because the JTAG debugger understands elf headers, so 
can automatically work out where to program the image in rom. I guess 
it should really be called linuxbios.elf. Feel free to change things if 
you feel the need.

Ah, good to know.. I'm not sure whether I really need to change
anything, but I would like to play with LinuxBIOS in qemu some more, as
it has working ppc, x86, amd64 and sparc system emulation.
Arm and sparc64 to come..

Together with it's speed, this gives a pretty unique testing utility for
OpenBIOS, but I need some lower level firmware under it, so I decided to
go LinuxBIOS since there already is a weirdly broken qemu-i386 port and
the totalimpact briq worked with openbios before...

Stefan.
