Building OpenFirmware for the A13

[madscientist132]

I'm trying to compile OpenFirmware for the A13, so i can boot any arm linux from usb hard disk and or usb cd/dvd.

i had followed the instructions on the wiki below, using a fedora 23 64bit pc and i failed completely.

does exist any special procedure to build this kind of firmware so the A13 can load it after pressing the power switch?

To work, obviously it will have to behave as the AW CPU requires.  That OFW site appears not to have any clue about such (perhaps a work in progress not yet started?) but they may be pleased if you put in the effort to make it work.

Vast amounts of info on the various AW CPUs is on the net (hundreds of pages)...
Maybe start at AW's site or linux-sunxi.org

BTW Why not use U-boot?
