The OpenSparc project supplies OpenSolaris (src/chip_dv/design/sys/edk/os/OpenSolaris/proto/ramdisk.snv-b77-nd.gz) and Ubuntu images which can be boot with the firmware from src/chip_dv/design/sys/edk/os/proms/ , but not with the firmware from src/arch_tools/S10image/ (which is only good for booting the supplied Solaris 10 image).<br /><br />Unfortunately the two sets of firmware are packaged slightly different: in S10image/*bin it's split into {reset,hv,md,q,openboot}.bin and in os/proms/ it's a single file.<br /><br />But I'm sure if you get M5 working with 1c1t_obp_prom.bin , it'll be able to boot Illumos.atarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986140925986775324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9726833.post-71543064860634187352015-10-27T11:10:06.124+00:002015-10-27T11:10:06.124+00:00Oh, I have plenty of hardware (more than I can eas...Oh, I have plenty of hardware (more than I can easily run at once, at any rate), and noise and power make using it routinely somewhat inconvenient. But even for me, it would be useful to be able to run easily inside an emulator (in the same way that I sanity check things in VirtualBox first, because it's so easy to do so).Peter Tribblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363446984245451854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9726833.post-58454683297140488682015-10-24T04:16:06.208+01:002015-10-24T04:16:06.208+01:00I have a T2000, T5220 and V245 i could rig up for ...I have a T2000, T5220 and V245 i could rig up for you if you need to use a real machine.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903213402158560664noreply@blogger.com
