I suppose that would affect the order in which you merge the ROMS into a single (E)EPROM, but that's hardly necessary any more. The images in the BBB repos are in the reversed order necessary for programming a new ROM. I had to reverse the order to disassemble the code... _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
