| This project has the source code to build two binaries: bios.bin and |
| vgabios-cirrus.bin, which are required for x86 emulation in the |
| Android emulator: platform/external/qemu. |
| |
| |
| SOURCE CODE |
| |
| + bios.bin: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/bochs/bochs.git |
| |
| The file bios.bin is actually BIOS-bochs-latest, which is built from |
| bochs/bios. We used the following commit in the bochs git tree so that |
| it can match with the qemu tree in platform/external/qemu: |

| |
| Fixed compilation error + x86-64 correctness fix |
| |
| Since our purpose is to build only rombios16.bin, we populated part |
| of the bochs tree in the git tree above. |
| |
| + vgabios-cirrus.bin: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/vgabios/vgabios.git |
| |
| The file vgabios-cirrus.bin is VGABIOS-lgpl-latest.cirrus.bin, which |
| is built by the tree, and we used the following commit. |

| |
| The build requires dev86 rpm or bin86 & bcc debs version >= 0.16.14. |
| (visit http://www.debath.co.uk/dev86/ for more information) |
| |
| HOW TO BUILD |
| |
| Just run make like, |
| $ make |
| |
| To clean up, |
| $ make clean |
| |
| OUTPUT |
| |
| The two binaries rombios16.bin and VGABIOS-lgpl-latest.cirrus.binare |
| copied from the directories accordingly, and renamed to bios.bin and |
| vgabios-cirrus.bin. |
