Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 22:21:49 +0100 From: David Woodhouse Message-Id: Sender: David Woodhouse List-ID: I seem to be able to read the flash. I can also detect the presence of a Disk-On-Chip. I can't yet work out the size of the DOC automatically, or decode the filesystem on it. There are some files in ftp://imladris.mvhi.com/pub/mtd/DOCdocs/ which may be useful. BIOS-startupcode.asm: Disassembly of the BIOS ROM which loads the main code from flash. It's this on which I based the C code. linuxdriver.asm: A disassembly of the binary-only Linux driver, with as many symbols put back in for readability as possible. doc-kernel.c: My preliminary kernel driver for the beast. It appears to be able to read lots of interesting stuff off the DoC. Strangely, I can't see anything on there that looks even vaguely like FTL, so perhaps I'm missing something. ---- ---- ---- David Woodhouse David.Woodhouse@mvhi.com Office: (+44) 1223 810302 Project Leader, Process Information Systems Mobile: (+44) 976 658355 Axiom (Cambridge) Ltd., Swaffham Bulbeck, Cambridge, CB5 0NA, UK. finger dwmw2@ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk for PGP key.
