1 | File overview: |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | elfload/ | |
| 4 | Obsolete Linux-based ELF loader. This used to allow loading NetWatch | |
| 5 | from within an already-running kernel; it could be updated to work with the | |
| 6 | current memory layout, but is nonfunctional at the moment. See grubload/ for | |
| 7 | the preferred loader. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | grubload/ | |
| 10 | This is a multiboot-compliant simple ELF loader, for use with NetWatch | |
| 11 | aseg.elf images or similar. It loads its input file (passed via multiboot), | |
| 12 | invokes the startup routines, and then returns to real mode and starts the | |
| 13 | bootloader again. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | ich2/ | |
| 16 | Intel ICH2 northbridge drivers. A similar API should be implemeted to | |
| 17 | port NetWatch to other chipsets. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | ich7/ | |
| 20 | Intel ICH7 northbridge drivers. Incomplete / untested. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | include/ | |
| 23 | General header files. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | lib/ | |
| 26 | Library functions. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | lwip/ | |
| 29 | LWIP. (http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/) | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | net/ | |
| 32 | Network card (currently only 3c90x) drivers, glue code, and the RFB | |
| 33 | and HTTP applications. Other network drivers should go here. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | netwatch/ | |
| 36 | Main startup and initialization code, logging, SMI response, VGA text | |
| 37 | overlay, and other general top-level sources. To build the main NetWatch binary, | |
| 38 | run "make" here to produce aseg.elf. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | pci/ | |
| 41 | PCI bus interface and BAR-clobbering routines. | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | tools/ | |
| 44 | Assorted useful Linux command line tools we've found useful, such as | |
| 45 | for SMRAM segment manipulation, raw I/O port pokes, etc. These are not required | |
| 46 | to use NetWatch. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | video/ | |
| 49 | Framebuffer drivers for VGA text and TNT2 graphics consoles. Supporting | |
| 50 | graphics on other chipsets will require making a driver like that in tnt2.c. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | --- | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | Porting NetWatch to other systems will likely require: | |
| 55 | - A network driver, if you don't have a 3c905 (net/3c90x.c) | |
| 56 | - A video driver, if you are interested in graphics rather than VGA text, | |
| 57 | and don't have an NVidia TNT2. (video/tnt2.c) | |
| 58 | - North- and southbridge drivers for your chipset. (ich2/) | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | We have found that Intel generally provides easily-accessible chipset | |
| 61 | datasheets on their website; searching for a particular ICH series part on | |
| 62 | Google will likely lead to the correct datasheet without too much trouble. | |
| 63 | Other chipset manufacturers are likely to be significantly less cooperative. | |
