| TODO List for Chameleon Boot Loader␊ |
| ====================================␊ |
| ␊ |
| - Add a new module capable of writing proprietary Chameleon data to ioreg:␊ |
| Using the DT__xxx() API, we will creat e a set of functions to write␊ |
| to log info, chameleon boot info to be retrieved by helper applications...␊ |
| the only public function for log info purpose of this module would be:␊ |
| logMessageToIOREG(...); // var args printf style format␊ |
| flushLogToIOREG(); // store a unique log info property to the ioreg␊ |
| ␊ |
| The preferred internal behavior of the log info ioreg buffer␊ |
| would be to store the messages in a consolidated buffer then only write once,␊ |
| this buffer (i.e just before call the kernel) with flushLogToIOREG();␊ |
| The other public function for writing chameleon boot info data would be:␊ |
| ␊ |
| verbose() should incorporate a call to logMessageToIOREG() ␊ |
| to permit helper applications to extract␊ |
| this log info (i.e: the chameleon system pref pane)␊ |
| ␊ |
| - Add API for displaying and logging messages like:␊ |
| ␊ |
| void verbose(...)␊ |
| {␊ |
| ...␊ |
| logMessageToIOREG("%s: %sn", title, s);␊ |
| ␊ |
| }␊ |
| ␊ |
| void display_and_log( const char* title, const char* msg) ␊ |
| {␊ |
| printf("%s: %sn", title, s);␊ |
| logMessageToIOREG(title,s);␊ |
| }␊ |
| ␊ |
| void deprecated(const char * s)␊ |
| {␊ |
| display_and_log("WARNING: Deprecated option",s); ␊ |
| sleep(1); ␊ |
| }␊ |
| ␊ |
| void error_message(const char * s)␊ |
| {␊ |
| display_and_log("ERROR",s); ␊ |
| getc();␊ |
| }␊ |
| ␊ |
| - Case unsensitive parsing for the bootConfig options:␊ |
| should help the common/novice user to setup more easily.␊ |
