File overview: elfload/ Obsolete Linux-based ELF loader. This used to allow loading NetWatch from within an already-running kernel; it could be updated to work with the current memory layout, but is nonfunctional at the moment. See grubload/ for the preferred loader. grubload/ This is a multiboot-compliant simple ELF loader, for use with NetWatch aseg.elf images or similar. It loads its input file (passed via multiboot), invokes the startup routines, and then returns to real mode and starts the bootloader again. ich2/ Intel ICH2 northbridge drivers. A similar API should be implemeted to port NetWatch to other chipsets. ich7/ Intel ICH7 northbridge drivers. Incomplete / untested. include/ General header files. lib/ Library functions. lwip/ LWIP. (http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/) net/ Network card (currently only 3c90x) drivers, glue code, and the RFB and HTTP applications. Other network drivers should go here. netwatch/ Main startup and initialization code, logging, SMI response, VGA text overlay, and other general top-level sources. To build the main NetWatch binary, run "make" here to produce aseg.elf. pci/ PCI bus interface and BAR-clobbering routines. tools/ Assorted useful Linux command line tools we've found useful, such as for SMRAM segment manipulation, raw I/O port pokes, etc. These are not required to use NetWatch. video/ Framebuffer drivers for VGA text and TNT2 graphics consoles. Supporting graphics on other chipsets will require making a driver like that in tnt2.c. --- Porting NetWatch to other systems will likely require: - A network driver, if you don't have a 3c905 (net/3c90x.c) - A video driver, if you are interested in graphics rather than VGA text, and don't have an NVidia TNT2. (video/tnt2.c) - North- and southbridge drivers for your chipset. (ich2/) We have found that Intel generally provides easily-accessible chipset datasheets on their website; searching for a particular ICH series part on Google will likely lead to the correct datasheet without too much trouble. Other chipset manufacturers have been found to be significantly less cooperative.
