@opna2608:matrix.orgPunamade the code a little bit nicer and threw it into a separate repo. not sure if this is too exotic/niche/legacy to package in Nixpkgs, or if we care about nix branding in the firmware boot menu vs the generic GNU logo.10:18:17

@opna2608:matrix.orgPuna* made the code a little bit nicer and threw it into a separate repo. not sure if this is too exotic/niche/legacy to package in Nixpkgs, or if we even care about nix branding in the firmware boot menu vs just using the generic GNU logo from GRUB.10:43:14
@opna2608:matrix.orgPunahandling the image format used on CHRP machines would also be nice (IBM's SLOF has a little bit on it at https://gitlab.com/slof/slof/-/blob/b7f755248e2dcc56c02634d288e1c0ff7e0ce1c7/slof/fs/packages/disk-label.fs#L535-543 , some old IBM documentation on CHRP machines' bootinfo prolly exists out there), but i don't have a machine like that to test the results on10:49:34
@opna2608:matrix.orgPuna

some old IBM documentation on CHRP machines' bootinfo prolly exists out there

PowerPC Microprocessor CHRP binding, https://www.devicetree.org/open-firmware/bindings/chrp/chrp1_8a.ps
this seems quite decent, covers the bootinfo stuff in general (sans Apple-specific shenanigans). page 21 covers the normal CHRP multiboot menu icon stuff in "3.1.6.7 ICON element" and "3.1.6.7.1 BITMAP element".

@opna2608:matrix.orgPuna machine's busy trying to build clang for the third time in a row, maybe this time it won't get killed after 1.5d of building due to OOM while swapping to disk…
anyway, prolly at some other time. i should pull my focus away to more job-related things for now 😅
