| ==== Summary ==== | ==== Summary ==== | ||
| - | ==== Outline ==== | + | Allow gPXE to run as a usermode application under Linux on both i386 and x86_64. Hence opening new debugging possibilities and shortening the development cycle considerably. |

| - | ==== Milestones and Timeline ==== | + | ==== Tasks ==== |
| + | === Already done === | ||
| + | * Add a ''linux'' ''PLATFORM'' | ||
| + | * Link against hacked ''stdlib'' | ||
| + | * Add linker scripts for ''i386'' and ''x86_64'' with tables support | ||
| + | * Add the necessary subsystems for a tap network driver | ||
| + | * ''CONSOLE_LINUX'' | ||
| + | * ''TIMER_LINUX'' | ||
| + | * ''UACCESS_LINUX'' | ||
| + | * ''UMALLOC_LINUX'' | ||
| + | * ''NAP_LINUX'' | ||
| + | * ''SMBIOS_LINUX'' (empty) | ||
| + | * Add a tap network driver | ||
| + | * Add command-line arguments allowing configuration of the tap driver | ||
| + | * Drop the stdlib dep | ||
| + | * Implement ''syscall()'' and ''linux_*'' on top of it where possible | ||
| + | * Implement ''linux_realloc'' | ||
| + | * Implement ''_start'' | ||
| + | * Make it not too hard to switch to linking to stdlib for debugging purposes | ||
| + | === Current === | ||
| + | * Making gPXE valgrindable | ||
| + | === Planned for near future === | ||
| + | * Research how to map gPXE's driver API to hardware via kernel | ||
