Add pointers to sources of used boot loaders
2012-11-27 09:09:30 +00:00
This directory contains boot-loader files needed to boot Genode and to create
boot images. The tools are available in binary form. Pointers to the source
code respectively the download source of binaries are described below.
:'bender'
The 'bender' tool is part of the 'morbo' toolchain available under GPL.
The toolchain was obtained from https://github.com/TUD-OS/morbo.
bender: restrict relocation below 2G physical Fixes #1402
2015-02-06 10:49:13 +00:00
For Genode the bender was modified so that binaries are only relocated up

to 2G physical. Relocation can be disabled by the commandline option
"norelocate".

Bootable GRUB2 disk image with ext2 partition This provides bootable disk images for x86 platforms via ! RUN_OPT="--target disk" The resulting disk image contains one ext2 partition with binaries from the GRUB2 boot loader and the run scenario. The default disk size fits all binaries, but is configurable via ! --disk-size <size in MiB> in RUN_OPT. The feature depends on an grub2-head.img, which is part of the commit, but may also be generated by executing tool/create_grub2. The script generates a disk image prepared for one partition, which contains files for GRUB2. All image preparation steps that need superuser privileges are conducted by this script. The final step of writing the entire image to a disk must be executed later by sudo dd if=<image file> of=<device> bs=8M conv=fsync Fixes #1203.

These files are part of the 'Syslinux Project' hosting several bootloaders.
The sources has been obtained from http://www.syslinux.org.

This file is part of a modified Grub 0.97 available under GPL. The sources
of the modified Grub 0.97 were obtained from
http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~adam/grub.
tool/boot: add chain_loader 'unzip' 'unzip' can uncompress and load raw multiboot images and ELF files. Usage together with the PXE bootloader ease life running the muen hypervisor together with a Genode/x86_64 VM, where the raw boot image is typically quite large. Ref #2358

:'unzip'
The 'unzip' tool is part of the 'morbo' toolchain available under GPL.
The toolchain was obtained from https://github.com/TUD-OS/morbo.
For Genode the unzip was modified so that raw binary images with a Multiboot
OS header can be loaded.
The changes are available on the genode_bender branch of
https://github.com/skalk/morbo.git.
