Hi everybody, I trace PMON into mips.S, and find the entry "_go". the entry transfer control to client prog. I am confused of what information PMON transfer to MIPS's BOOTLOADER and transfer to which entry point of BOOTLOADER. I found the bd_t struct of PPCBOOT.h for PPCBOOT package on POWERPC platform. It is corresponding POWERPC-LINUX data structure bd_info in ~/include/asm/mbx.h (register r3~r7) I just can not find the entry for MIPS's one. (can not find corresponding baget.h's one) Could anybody tell me what is the information (register inforation) PMON transfer to bootloader? Or anybody can disscuss with me, best regards, --sam -----Original Message----- From: owner-linux-mips@oss.sgi.com [mailto:owner-linux-mips@oss.sgi.com]On Behalf Of Marc Karasek Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 9:21 PM To: 'Y.H.

I maybe wrong, I will have to check the source I have to see if it is or not. I am currently adding BOOTP support to it, along with some other options. If it is OS, then I will be providing these back to the community. /******************************************* Marc Karasek Sr. Firmware Engineer iVivity Inc.

But I can not find the entry, and make decision what kind of BOOT LOADER to use on MIPS platform. I have the ddb5476 board type linux from montavista, Could anybody give me some suggestion? --Sam
