[util] Avoid calling fclose(NULL) in zbin.c

2008-09-04T10:29:37+00:00

Must check that argument to a fclose() is not NULL -- we can get to the 'err' label when file was not opened. fclose(NULL) is known to produce core dump on some platforms and we don't want zbin to fail so loudly. Signed-off-by: Eygene Ryabinkin

[util] Fix interpretation of short jumps in Option::ROM

2008-08-27T19:36:30+00:00

Option::ROM was assuming that ROM images using a short jump instruction for the init entry point would have a zero byte at offset 5; this is not necessarily true.

[util] Allow Option::ROM to understand and modify initialisation entry point

2008-08-15T03:10:35+00:00

Add support for manipulating the jump instruction that forms the option ROM initialisation entry point, so that mergerom.pl can treat it just like other entry points. Add support for merging the initialisation entry point (and IBM BOFM table) to mergerom.pl; this is another slightly icky but unfortunately necessary GPL vs. NDA workaround. When mergerom.pl replaces an entry point in the original ROM, it now fills in the corresponding entry point in the merged ROM with the original value; this allows (for example) a merged initialisation entry point to do some processing and then jump back to the original entry point.

[util] Add mergerom.pl

This utility is required as a workaround for legal restrictions on including GPL and non-GPL code within the same expansion ROM image. While this is not encouraged, we are prepared to accept that concatenation of ROM images and updating of the ROM header data structures can be classed as "mere aggregation" within the terms of the GPL. If in any doubt, assume that you cannot include GPL and non-GPL code within the same expansion ROM image. Contact the Etherboot team for clarification on your specific circumstances.

[util] Add Option::ROM library and rewrite disrom.pl to use it.

2008-07-31T04:30:04+00:00

The Option::ROM module provides an easy way to read and edit fields within option ROM headers.

[util] config-local.h to avoid accidental commits

2008-06-04T23:45:33+00:00

During development it is often handy to change the config.h options from their defaults, for example to enable debugging features. To prevent accidental commits of debugging config.h changes, mdc suggested having a config-local.h that is excluded from source control. This file acts as a temporary config.h and can override any of the defaults. This commit is an attempt to implement the config-local.h feature. The config.h file now has the following as its last line: /* @TRYSOURCE config-local.h */ The @TRYSOURCE directive causes config-local.h to be included at that point in the file. If config-local.h does not exist, no error will be printed and parsing will continue as normal. Therefore, mkconfig.pl is "trying" to "source" config-local.h.

[Makefile] Use bin/VVVVDDDD.rom instead of bin/pci_VVVV_DDDD.rom

2008-03-06T15:37:34+00:00

The generate-by-PCI-device-ID rules (bin/pci_VVVV_DDDD.rom) are generally used for building actual ROM images to be burned, and the burning utilities generally run under some DOS variant. Change the filename from pci_VVVV_DDDD.rom to VVVVDDDD.rom so that it is compatible with the DOS 8.3-character filename limit.

Add bin/pci_VVVV_DDDD target to allow building ROM images without

needing to know the gPXE internal ROM name.

Produce no output unless -v is specified or an error occurs.
