Currently, there is no version available for download, it is far from usable yet.

Quick facts

  • Firmware versions 1.0.5 and 1.0.8 available
  • Runs VxWorks
  • 256MB memory
  • Uses AUTOEXEC.BIN instead of DISKBOOT.BIN
    • Needs to be enabled in NVRAM
    • Requires an EOS_DEVELOP disklabel and BOOTDISK 'signature'
    • Can boot from FAT32
    • File format unknown, possibly needs a header but unlikely (probably a plain binary)
