-Slimline Open Firmware - SLOF

-INSTALL ON JS20/JS21
-===============================================================================
-
- Detailed information about how to use SLOF on JS20 and JS21 can be found in
- the document FlashingSLOF.pdf
-
- The JS20 and JS21 blades both have 2 "flashsides". They have a 8MB flash part
- which is divided into a 4MB "temporary" side and a 4MB "permanent" side.
-
- The temporary side is the flashside used for the normal operation and the
- permanent side is used as a backup if the temporary should ever fail.
-
- Therefore it is important that the permanent flash side is not changed so
- that if ever required the original firmware can be restored.
-
- SLOF usually warns or in most cases does not easily allow to overwrite the
- permanent side.

-REMOVING SLOF FROM JS20/JS21
-===============================================================================
-
- If you want to boot the original firmware again, you need to boot the blade
- from the management module. If auto-boot is enabled you have to press "s"
- to reach the firmware prompt.
- On the SLOF command line, type:
-
- 0 > other-firmware
-
- and it should get you back to running the original firmware. To permanently
- get it back, after booting Linux from there, type
-
- $ update_flash -r
- $ halt
-
- You will boot on the PERM side. To boot from the TEMP side again, you need to
- restart the Blade System MGMT Processor.
-
- Following steps are needed on
- Management Module -> Blade Tasks -> Power/Restart
-
- Power Off Blade
- Restart Blade System Mgmt Processor
- Power On Blade
-
-
-INSTALL ON KVM/QEMU
-===============================================================================
-
- Recent versions of QEMU should already be shipped with a version of SLOF.
- To upgrade SLOF in your QEMU installation, back-up the old firmware file
- .../share/qemu/slof.bin from your QEMU installation, then simply copy the
- new SLOF image (for example "boot_rom.bin" after building board-qemu) to
- this location.
