Boot Logos and EFI Types

[roobarb!]

Just wondering - those folk here that have OpenFrame 2 devices; could you let me know what boot logo you get when powering on? I'm looking for an EFI image with the OpenPeak logo, but specifically for the OpenFrame 2 (speakers on the front).

I'm also just interested to know what different systems are out there. In fact, pile in with OpenFrame 1 / Joggler or OpenFrame 2 info!

So far I've seen OpenPeak, O2 (obviously!), Telio, Swisscom, Cisco... any others out there?

Here saved one custom Electric Company utility logo, Avaya, et al. I do not recall seeing the OpenPeak logo on these.

But the eye is slower than the hand and or the hand is not slower than the eye or maybe not paying attention (age thing)?

Telio here.

I had one with the OpenPeak logo once, but lost it in a botched update that nearly cost me the device. Actually, the update went perfectly... that was the problem; Telio trying to lock it down!

Is 'Electric Company' an actual company, or are you just referring to some general electricity distributor?

I have OpenPeak logo on OF2.

One was / is (have to find it) one electrical utility company from the US West coast and the other was from the US Midwest. I did save them.

Ooh, do you? Could you do me a huge favour and take a copy of it?

Awesome - if you manage to find them at some point, would you mind popping them online somewhere for me to grab? Just building a collection and popping them on my website for people to use.

Geez...labeled them only as OP Roms. I do have the devices with the original boot ROMs. Just have look.

There is an EFI rom reader posted here somewhere such that you can look at the attached.

Just flashed the OP2 one to an OpenFrame 2 and it's an OpenPeak logo one! However, it's one of those EFI ROMs that sets the backlight level to low, so the logo is barely visible.

If I had the slightest idea what I was doing I might try to tweak that... but not trying it on an OF2.

Actually, thinking about it I never checked with you whether OP1 was for the Joggler / OpenFrame 1 and the OP2 one for OpenFrame 2. That was very foolish of me - I could have been up the proverbial creek there!

I was in a rush and gave the OP roms very generic names and stuck them on a little USB stick labeled ROMs.

I did mix the Joggler O2, Openpeak little and Openpeak big device ROMs all on one USB stick labled ROMs. Never did get a Telio device here though.

The Verizon device did have a self healing go out to the internet and repair me type of boot EFI partition which would update itself when calling home.

Thinking it was still working when I first played. None the less it still would let me boot from a USB stick.

Personally here none of them interchanged caused me any grief here. I mean I could go back and forth and in between different ROMs with no issues.

It has been so long that I forgot the logic that I used to name them.

That said I do have the original OP devices here such that I can power them up and look at the boot logos. They are stacked in their original boxes in basement work area.

I will look this week at them and will do this properly labeling them with vendor logo.

One Forum user found a reference to the PATA-ZIF port on the Avaya ROM. I tried to see if I could boot via ZIF and it wouldn't work for me.

Just that part functioning would be nice to have. Thinking too you can rewrite the boot EFI on the built in chip to boot from the ZIF drive if you want.

I have lot of work now, When I'll have a chance I'll backup the partition...
I ordered Verizon Phone Hub as I understood it's same openframe if it supports usb boot I'll try to grab that firmware also...

Received Verizon Phone Hub it's not a joggler strange device with ARM processor not really friendly without Veriason subscription... Use some sort of XML Gui (busybox...)

Not sure if this would be of any help for analysing Joggler(esque) EFI firmware :

Came across this from a security list email, where the guy is promoting his firmware security blog. There appears to be some interesting articles :

Thinking now here got too willy nilly and swap around boot EFI bios stuff.

Do you have the Ayaya Boot EFI, Verizon Boot EFI, Commonwealth Edison ones?

These are all mostly from the OpenPeak 1's I think?

Some of the ones here are labeled and others are not. I will just zip them up.

I am currently using it cuz there is code in there to boot from the PATA port first. Doesn't work though.
