The usefulness of DBGLVL_IO is limited by the fact that many cards require large numbers of uninteresting I/O reads/writes at device probe time, typically when driving a bit-bashing I2C/SPI bus to read the MAC address. This patch adds the DBG_DISABLE() and DBG_ENABLE() macros, which can be used to temporarily disable and re-enable selected debug levels. Note that debug levels must still be enabled in the build in order to function at all: you can't use DBG_ENABLE(DBGLVL_IO) in an object built with DEBUG=object:1 and expect it to do anything.
gPXE README File gPXE is an implementation of the PXE specification for network booting, with extensions to allow additional features such as booting via HTTP, iSCSI, and AoE. In generally, gPXE is compatible with the industry-standard PXE specification, and also supports Etherboot .nbi file loading and some additional protocols and features. For more detailed information about gPXE, please visit our project website at: http://etherboot.org/ BUILDING gPXE IMAGE FROM SOURCE If you don't want to install development tools, and have access to the Web, you can get gPXE and Etherboot ROM images made on demand from http://rom-o-matic.net/ If you would like to compile gPXE images from source, here are some tips. We normally compile gPXE images on x86, 32-bit Linux machines. It is possible to also use x86-64 machines. We use gcc compiler options to create 32-bit output. It is important to have the necessary software packages installed. A gcc-based toolchain is required. The following packages (at least) are required: - a gcc tool chain (gcc 3.x or gcc 4.x) - binutils - perl - syslinux - mtools To test your environment, cd to the "src" directory and type: make You should see a lot of output, and when it stops, the "bin" directory should be populated with gPXE images and object files. To learn more about what to build and how to use gPXE, please visit our project website at http://etherboot.org/ , particularly the "howto" section.
