Hi all, I'd like to announce the first release of blob, a bootloader for SA1100 based systems. From the README file: ** What is blob? ---------------- Blob is the Boot Loader OBject, the boot loader for the LART. Blob is able to boot a Linux kernel stored in flash or RAM and provide that kernel with a ramdisk (again from flash or RAM). Blob is copyrighted by Jan-Derk Bakker ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Erik Mouw ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Blob is released with a GNU GPL license. ** So what is LART? ------------------- LART is the Linux Advanced Radio Terminal, a small low power computing element used in the MMC project (http://mmc.et.tudelft.nl/ and http://www-ict.its.tudelft.nl/~erik/open-source/LART/). ** Commands ----------- Blob knows several commands, typing "help" (without the ") will show you which: Help for blob 1.0.0, the LART bootloader The following commands are supported: * boot [kernel options] Boot Linux with optional kernel options * download {kernel|ramdisk} Download kernel or ramdisk image to RAM * flash {kernel|ramdisk} Copy kernel or ramdisk from RAM to flash * help Get this help * reload {kernel|ramdisk} Reload kernel or ramdisk from flash to RAM * reset Reset terminal * speed Set download speed * status Display current status Blob is distributed with a GNU GPL license and can be downloaded from http://www-ict.its.tudelft.nl/~erik/open-source/blob/ (sorry, no nifty webpage yet).
