2010-04-19[build] Rename gPXE to iPXEMichael Brown1-2/+2
Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and updating URLs to match. Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

2010-01-24[pxe] Introduce PXE exit hook for NBP chainingShao Miller1-0/+33
It might be the case that we wish to chain to an NBP without being "in the way". We now implement a hook in our exit path for gPXE *.*pxe build targets. The hook is a pointer to a SEG16:OFF16 which we try to jump to during exit. By default, this pointer results in the usual exit path. We also implement the "pxenv_file_exit_hook" PXE API routine to allow the user to specify an alternate SEG16:OFF16 to jump to during exit. Unfortunately, this additional PXE extension has a cost in code size. Fortunately, a look at the size difference for a gPXE .rom build target shows zero size difference after compression. The routine is documented in doc/pxe_extensions as follows: FILE EXIT HOOK Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK (00e7h) Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK parameter structure that has been initialized by the caller. Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be returned in AX. The Status field in the parameter structure must be set to one of the values represented by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants. Description:Modify the exit path to jump to the specified code. Only valid for pxeprefix-based builds. typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK { PXENV_STATUS_t Status; SEGOFF16_t Hook; } t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK; Set before calling API service: Hook: The SEG16:OFF16 of the code to jump to. Returned from API service: Status: See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants. Requested-by: H.

2008-03-26[PXEXT] Update documentationH. Peter Anvin1-2/+88
Add documentation for the FILE_EXEC and FILE_CHECK_API extension calls, and update the documentation for the FILE_READ call.
2007-07-06Added PXENV_GET_FILE_SIZE.Michael Brown1-1/+43
Documented non-blocking nature of PXENV_FILE_READ. Changed FileName field in PXENV_FILE_OPEN to be a SEGOFF16, to avoid a fixed 256-byte length limit on URLs.
