-- The PC BIOS comes from the Bochs project (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/).
- The patches in bios-pq have been applied. The binary is based on the revision
- in bios-pq/HEAD with the patches in bios-pq/series applied. The git repo
- that HEAD refers to is located at
- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/bochs/bochs.git
-
- To build these use the following instructions:
- using guilt:
- $ export QEMUSRC=/path/to/qemu/svn
- $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/bochs/bochs.git
- $ cd bochs
- $ git checkout -b qemu-bios $(cat $QEMUSRC/pc-bios/bios-pq/HEAD)
-
- $ mkdir -p .git/patches
- $ ln -s $QEMUSRC/pc-bios/bios-pq .git/patches/qemu-bios
- $ touch .git/patches/qemu-bios/status
- $ guilt push -a
- $ ./configure
- $ cd bios
- $ make
- $ cp BIOS-bochs-latest $QEMUSRC/pc-bios/bios.bin
-
- or alternatively (after the git checkout):
- $ for p in $(cat $QEMUSRC/pc-bios/bios-pq/series); do git am $p; done
- $ ./configure
- $ make bios
+- SeaBIOS (bios.bin) is the successor of pc bios.
