coreboot utilities on MacOSX

[Stefan Reinauer]

Hi,

As a weekend project I had been porting coreboot utilities to Mac OS X.

I put up a new set of installer images, source code and patches to

http://www.coresystems.de/~stepan/OSX/

The order of installation should be:
- DirectIO 1.1
- pciutils 3.1.4
- coreboot-utils 1.0

All packages are both 32bit and 64bit and they have been tested on Mac
OS X 10.6.

Feedback is welcome!

Stefan

Hello!
I am decidedly impressed. Those are well needed. Next question have
they been tested against the next latest version of OS/X?

There's some controversy raging regarding a user space program not
running properly on this big cat, as it no longer does everything that
it did before.

OS X 10.6 is the "latest and greatest". In fact, the binaries didn't
work very well on an OS X 10.5.8 installation, but the source can be
easily compiled on 10.5.x and 10.4.x by removing the x86_64 stuff from
DirectIO's Xcode project file.
