[Qemu-devel] OpenSPARC OBP source code available

[Jose Renau]

  This may be useful for the openbios/qemu SPARC64 project.
On the latest release (1.3), SUN has included the source code
for the OpenBios for the Niagara (sunv)

That is very good news! OpenBIOS is very nice, but there are some 64-bit 
issues that make the Forth part crash. Having a reference boot prom would be 
nice.

But before downloading that 195,508,750 bytes package, would you happen to 
know what is the licence for OBP source, and would there be problems working 
with both OBP and OpenBIOS (GPL)?

"The Hypervisor and OBP source code is released under BSD license"
http://opensparc-t1.sunsource.net/bsd.html

Doesn't get much better than that :)

  The Hypervisor and OBP source code is released under BSD license. The
rest of the OpenSPARC project is GPL.

  I guess that there is no problem.
