No -- the latest version is what I have named blob-2.0.5-px2-5 (note the
change in the version format.) It's currently hosted on the CVS server
that's inside of intel. We haven't figured out exactly where to host
things externally, so... some options:
=20
1) I can just send you the known-working binary
2) I can send you a tgz of the source tree
3) We can set up access to our inside-of-intel CVS server
=20
Let me know what you'd like me to do... I'd like to avoid anything more
extensive (e.g., posting to an externally-available CVS server) until we
know exactly where it's going to be hosted.

Cheers,
Trevor

Hey Trevor,
=20
Where can I find the latest blob sources? Is there a CVS server or is
blob-2.0.5-pre3 the latest one?
=20
Thanks,
Dirk

Folks -- just a FYI that I have been making a lot of improvements to
blob (boot loader) for SG2. There were a number of subtle bugs
lingering there that were causing some significant problems for
downloading new images using tftp. This will be a part of the new
release when it comes out, but for now I just wanted to let you know it
was there in case you were having problems.
=20
The basic problem was that tftp was corrupting things on download,
and/or it would randomly freeze. One problem (fixed) was spurious
packets causing a buffer overrun. The other problem (not fixed) now has
a workaround that a least allows you to download an uncorrupted image.
=20
This version also includes fixes for handling MAC addresses, fixes the
"reboot" command so it works, and removes some broken commands.
=20
Cheers,
Trevor
