As you all probably know the Floong as shipped by lemote uses a 64K binary blob to initialize the video which makes it non-free. Fortunately now there is an alternative: GRUB2. To generate firmware image do: bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub cd grub =2E/configure --target=3Dmipsel --with-platform=3Dloongson make =2E/grub-mkimage -C xz -O mipsel-fuloong-flash -o grub.img -d grub-core/ normal linux ata usb_keyboard ohci part_msdos ext2 xfs part_gpt ls halt reboot usbms gzio The resulting grub.img can be flashed using flashrom http://flashrom.org/Flashrom. Be sure to have backup chip before flashing. Fortunately the chip is socketed so you can easily replace it. Although the image such created worked fine for me, it wasn't tested enough yet so have a backup chip and please, report if you encounter any problems. Have fun @Danny, @Lemote: is anybody interested in distributing Fuloongs with GRUB= @FSF, rms: if anybody distributes Fuloong this way can it be endorsed by FSF? --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enig94BABE0531D1C1C5D1AF29A6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREKAAYFAk3Q6osACgkQNak7dOguQgln2gEAr1+gaLEZvmks9nT747sbBil3 fuudYRinT24fQ8tAxvYBAMH69+Aj+t1DiHTcZkNrhsoBHvYEK53/3QRf7VDzuqBx =s/dY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig94BABE0531D1C1C5D1AF29A6--
