Hello, I'm here to announce that grub2 port for yeeloong has already had its first output. You can see it here: http://robertmh.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/grub-yeeloong.jpeg (Thanks to Robert Millan for hosting the image) On the image you can see standard shell waiting for input. What already works: booting as ELF from pmon, loading modules, graphics output if gfx card is already inited (is a case when booted from pmon), platform-independent parts What doesn't work: keyboard and disks Not checked: linux booting (works on qemu) It also has stubs (e.g. "rtc" is just counting number of calls) and hardcodes (e.g. RAM size) but is already something. Compiling: get mips branch of http://repo.or.cz/w/grub2/phcoder.git ./autogen.sh ./configure --target=mipsel --with-platform=yeeloong make Create a font.bin as explained here: http://grub.enbug.org/gfxterm ./grub-mkimage -O elf -o grub.elf -d . -f font.bin sm712 gfxterm sh normal Boot it as if it was linux kernel Enjoy starring at unresponsive prompt
