SLOF
to build and test a SLOF firmware image and boot Linux® on a JS20 blade, JS21 blade, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation).
Who
Software engineers interested in running Slimline Open Firmware and to boot
Linux on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation).
Hardware engineers interested in running and testing Slimline Open Firmware
on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation).
What
System-interface code to boot SLOF on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation)
Why
To test SLOF and to boot Linux on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation), you will need this code as an
add-on to SLOF open source code. This system-interface code provides the
base functionality to run Slimline Open Firmware (SLOF) on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation) for test
purposes. It must be included into the build process of the SLOF open source
package to generate a flash image for JS20, JS21, or Bimini. The detailed description is included
in the open source package of SLOF. SLOF now also supports JS21 blades and Bimini
(PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation), in addition to JS20 blades.
