Cocoboot loader
Hi all,
I've started writing a non machine specific Linux loader. By this I mean that it tries to autodetect all the information it needs to boot Linux, instead of us having to make up heaps of nearly identical mach-X.h files.
I'd appreciate it if anyone with a Palm other than a LD, could reply with the output of cocoboot-20060402.prc (source) It should attempt to detect the RAM base, RAM size, TLB location (physical) and CPU model. I'd like to know whether the detection is working properly before I write the loader.
My plan is to have it also be able to tell you the LCD register values, load from memory card or compiled-in kernel and (at least on the XScale) move the framebuffer somewhere safe in RAM to display a nice logo while the kernel is copied and booted.
Thanks!
UPDATE (July 2007): If you're looking for Cocoboot for booting Linux this is not the file you want. This is a very old development version. It can't boot. Please use the one from the Latest releases page instead.
