OpenFirmware Tricks/Kludges/Uses
- BootX project description (added by ifriedma, 2/12/05)
- Pong in OF
- The long-defunct NetBSD/powerpc port used OpenFirmware for essentially all device drivers! This port was abandoned and eventually replaced by NetBSD/macppc.
PowerPC
- PSIM
- PPC 7xx/6xx
- What's all this I hear about Altivec?
MOOSE.INTRO Hardware
- PCI 106b/0024 is the "gmac" ("Sun GEM" gig-ether) Ethernet
- PCI 106b/0026 is Pangea USB controller
- ATA disk interface is a "Keylargo" which attaches to the "mac-io"
- PCI 106b/0025 is the "mac-io", looks like a south bridge
