Is the file being loaded called "vmlinux.bin.gz.block" ?
Thanks,
Tony

For now flash would be fine. Unfortunately in my ignorance, I don't even know
what file is being unzipped. Is there any documentation you can point me to to
understand at a high level what the gunzip() function is doing? This is my
first experience dealing with a BIOS.
option ELF_BOOT=1
The gunzip code is there for legacy reasons. What is happening is
that the hardware has been initialized, and it is loading either the
Linux kernel or a bootloader that will later load a kernel.At some point we would love to be able to model exactly what is happening on a
Matsonic 7308 motherboard, but the immediate goal is to simulate approximately
what is happening until we jump into the Linux startup_32: block.
Why do you need the modeling? What problem are you trying to solve?
If it is just for a convinient development environment there are
simpler ways you can go.
Eric
