A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Mike Touloumtzis <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: Hermit
System name: hermit
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project
Description:
Hermit is a small yet full-featured downloader/boot loader combination for
embedded software development, developed at Blue Mug, Inc. It is distributed
under the terms of the GNU GPL.
The host (workstation) side of Hermit is not target-specific; it retrieves a
memory map, including flash blocking information and amount of memory available
for buffering on the target side, and programs the flash accordingly. It can
also download to RAM, and supports a simple tty-style serial terminal. Hermit
supports Ethernet downloads using raw (packet) sockets; this gives much faster
downloads than serial.
Hermit\'s goal is to provide a single Free Software downloading utility which
can be used with a wide array of embedded hardware platforms, along with a
library of useful routines for developing Free Software boot loaders.
Hermit is stable at version 1.3. This version supports the Cirrus Logic
EDB7211 evaluation board, and can boot the Linux kernel on that board. Other
hardware devices are supported via patches available on the Web; these patches
will hopefully soon be integrated.
