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 tool is part of the 'morbo' toolchain available under GPL.
The toolchain was obtained from https://github.com/TUD-OS/morbo.
For Genode bender was modified so that binaries are only relocated up
to 2G physical. Additionally, relocation can be limited to 256M for sel4.
Optionally, the tool may load Intel microcode if configured via commandline.
The tool expects to find an module named micro.code which contains
a valid Intel microcode file for the target CPU.
Additionally, the tool may adjust the Intel HWP default settings if
configured via commandline.
The changes are available from
https://github.com/alex-ab/morbo.git.

:'pulsar':
The 'pulsar' tool was obtained in binary form from

:'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.
