Diff Detail
Event TimelineComment Actions All for it. Too many places to touch though it seems (and the i386 exception to deal with still). I wonder if there could be some de-dup done for a default value?
Comment Actions
I guess we could include ../Makefile.inc from all of the i386 loaders (boot0, boot2, gptboot etc.) for a fairly easy cleanup, although I'm not sure there won't be some conflicts LDSCRIPT etc. Comment Actions Thanks for jumping on this...
Comment Actions I think we can de-dup most of the BIOS build. There's a lot of accumulated technical debt remaining there still (despite many improvements). It's interesting that we don't define a baud rate that's default for the tty layer... Comment Actions There's a mechanism to do this already, and I can help move things to the common places (creating those if they aren't there already)
Comment Actions There should probably be an UPDATING entry for those who use boot0 to revert back to 9600 in that case. |
