Contents of this section

Unfortunately this is not a perfect world and there, as always, some restrictions that you should be aware of.

Milo is not meant to load operating systems other than Linux, although it can load images linked to run at the same place in memory as Linux (which is 0xFFFFFC0000310000). This is how the flash management utilities can be run.

The PALcode sources included in miniboot/palcode/blah are correct, but since there used to be problems with early versions of gas, the MILO distribution also contains pre-built, uuencoded images that are known to be correct. To be on the safe side, it's proably still better if you do not attempt to rebuild the PALcode on your own.
