Download system-interface code to run and test Slimline Open Firmware (SLOF) on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation). Download this after you download SLOF to build and test a SLOF firmware image and boot Linux® on a JS20 blade, JS21 blade, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation).

Who

Software engineers interested in running Slimline Open Firmware and to boot Linux on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation).

Hardware engineers interested in running and testing Slimline Open Firmware on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation).

What

System-interface code to boot SLOF on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation)

Why

To test SLOF and to boot Linux on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation), you will need this code as an add-on to SLOF open source code. This system-interface code provides the base functionality to run Slimline Open Firmware (SLOF) on JS20 blades, JS21 blades, or Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation) for test purposes. It must be included into the build process of the SLOF open source package to generate a flash image for JS20, JS21, or Bimini. The detailed description is included in the open source package of SLOF. SLOF now also supports JS21 blades and Bimini (PPC970MP Power.org Reference Design and Workstation), in addition to JS20 blades.

Where

Only at the IBM developerWorks Power Architecture technology zone
