Such a design of this is much more conservative, as it relies on driver code that has been used by a larger population text/html 2006-06-13T21:10:53-07:00 http://etherboot.org/dokuwiki-2017-02-19b/soc/derekpryor-proposal?rev=1150258253&do=diff gPXE Secure Network Booting Project Proposal Synopsis At the moment gPXE has no security in the bootstrap process. This project aims to deliver security and verifiability to bootstrapping. This project has two big parts. One is creating a secure network connection, over which files can be downloaded. The second part is the ability to verify that the retrieved files have not been modified. One goal is to separate these two parts as much as possible, to allow the use of other secure protocols in… text/html 2006-07-21T12:33:02-07:00 http://etherboot.org/dokuwiki-2017-02-19b/soc/derekpryor?rev=1153510382&do=diff Derek Pryor, gPXE Secure Network Booting Some useful links * My Project Proposal ---------- Update (2006/07/21) Have almost finished porting the MatrixSSL versions of SHA1 and MD5.

Things like setting and getting an IP, pinging, specifying tftp-servers etc. I'm going to do this as a separate, custom made, but implementation independent command line library which will handle all the internals of the command line. For this lib a small driver in the underlying application (ie. gPXE) will send key pressings to the lib. … text/html 2011-03-26T13:34:35-07:00 http://etherboot.org/dokuwiki-2017-02-19b/soc/ideas?rev=1301171675&do=diff Etherboot Project GSoC Ideas This list is not exhaustive, and we welcome new suggestions.

Here are some snippets from my proposal. Synopsis gPXE uses uIP to implement its TCP/IP stack. uIP is an implementation of the TCP/IP stack which uses a fraction of the resources used by a full fledged TCP/IP implementation. text/html 2006-06-14T22:33:58-07:00 http://etherboot.org/dokuwiki-2017-02-19b/soc/oldundiproposal?rev=1150349638&do=diff = Deliverables and expected timeline = The initial target platform will be VMware, which provides e1000 and vlance emulated NICs, which support PXE. The architecture for the UNDI driver will be divided into two portions: a userspace program for executing the UNDI code, which passes packets to and from an in-kernel component. Based on my understanding of the Etherboot code and (non-functional) Grub UNDI driver, UNDI is typically implemented as real-mode code. The natural way to execute the rea… text/html 2006-06-12T11:19:38-07:00 http://etherboot.org/dokuwiki-2017-02-19b/soc/projpages?rev=1150136378&do=diff Student Project Pages Here are project pages for each of our 2006 Google Summer of Code participants: * Fredrik Hultin, gPXE Command Line Interface * Derek Pryor, gPXE Secure Network Booting * Nikhil Rao, gPXE IPv6 * Alan Shieh, Linux UNDI Driver text/html 2006-06-16T03:52:36-07:00 http://etherboot.org/dokuwiki-2017-02-19b/soc/revised_timeline?rev=1150455156&do=diff Timeline June * 24 June - Implement the UDP/IPv4 modules based on the new TX and RX datapath.

[Some boot ROMs] General Information We (the Etherboot Project) create network booting code (gPXE) that allows computers to load their operating system from a network. gPXE can be stored in a number of places, including BIOS Flash, EPROMs, floppy, CD, HD, or other bootable media. The project has been around since about 1993.
