What's OpenBSD's policy on when something needs to be included?
The rPi boot process requires several files to be on a FAT partition on an sd-card: bootcode.bin, fixup.dat, start.elf, config.txt and the OS kernel; the first 3 of which are blobs.
Would those blobs need to be included, or would OpenBSD be fine saying "use your existing boot card, just drop in our kernel", or "go grab these files from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot when formatting the sd-card."?
- tedunangst 11y agoIf the blobs are preexisting that's less of a problem. But it also makes the hardware less interesting.
