chinese documentation for Xinghuo pmon upgrade, looks like a command
such as this should work [1]:

 load -rf bfc0 (usb0,0)/pmon-A1101-2.0.6.bin

Don't understand chinese, can you confirm that bfc0 is the correct
offset for the PMON firmware?  I hope PMON's flash is just plugged not
soldered into the mainboard, in case something goes wrong!?

Yes, bfc0 is the correct offset. And PMON flash is plugged, not soldered.

Sorry to be nitpicking, but I can't find any source code that
corresponds to recent PMON versions.  Last commit in pmon.git [1] is
From 2011, highest version tag is 1.6.1.  I also looked here [2] but
found nothing new, and upstream [3] is currently offline.  

Just my fault for not looking at the right spot?  Or did Lemote
eventually close-source their PMON development?  I'd really like to stay
with an open source BIOS for now.

cheers,

David

You can try the master branch again, I have updated the code.

 Hi,

 trying to build the master branch from [1] (5014fb051394) does not
 produce any kernels that run on Xinghuo 3A 6100.  The screen just stays
 blank when loading them from the boot menu (or when boot from PMON
 prompt, the screen continues to show the PMON console).

 I tried two configurations: the one from
 arch/mips/configs/loongson3_defconfig and a config derived from a
 known-to-work config for kernel 3.5.0-8.  Both configs can be found here
 [2].

 cheers,

 David
