You can find the source code to linload (the first stage of Linux/alpha's bootstrap) at: ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/linload/ And a developer's kit for developing alpha ARC applications at: http://www.windows.digital.com/support/drivers/drivers.asp This includes a document about the ARC firmware api (a bit mips specific but its easy to figure out what is going on). -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
