The genfsimg script extracts 16-bit word values from binary files using the POSIX-compatible subset of options to "od". This subset does not include the "--endian" option supported by GNU od. The 16-bit values are therefore effectively extracted and compared as byte sequences. Since all quantities in PE files are little-endian, this requires all literals to be written in a byte-reversed form. Switch to implementing get_word() in a marginally less efficient way (by issuing two separate calls to get_byte()), so that the value returned is the real 16-bit word value. This allows several of the constants to be written in a more meaningful form (e.g. "8664" for x86_64, "aa64" for AArch64, etc). Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
