[MinnowBoard] [minnow edk2] question about MinnowBoard's

[TigerLiu at zhaoxin.com]

Hi, Bruce:
Thanks for your reply!
So how about an Atheros (AR8031_AL1A) PHY?
Is it also an binary UNDI driver?not open source?

So made a summary:
MinnowBoard (v1) or MinnowBoard MAX (v2), their integrated network card,
not provide open source code for UNDI driver, right?

Best wishes,

I'm not sure if you mean the MinnowBoard (v1) or MinnowBoard MAX (v2),
but from what I can see the v1 has an Atheros (AR8031_AL1A) PHY while
the v2 has a Realtek (RTL8111GS) PHY.

For the MAX, the BIOS source code is now part of TianoCore: the project
homepage is http://www.tianocore.org and while the canonical repository
is on sourceforge under subversion, a nicer interface for obtaining it
is through the mirror at https://github.com/tianocore/edk2 .
I set up a Phabricator server for it a few days ago which I think
provides a nicer repo browser than both sourceforge and github:
http://edk2.bluestop.org/diffusion/UDK/ .

The (open source) code that's specific to the Minnowboard MAX is under
Vlv2TbltDevicePkg and Vlv2DeviceRefCodePkg.

I'm not sure what else may be binary-only, but at least the Intel
microcode and the Intel GOP and Realtek UNDI drivers aren't open source.
