Michael Brown 0d3d223a87 [blob] Add an abstraction of an openable data blob
Within the iPXE data transfer interface model, openers are fully
asynchronous and may not deliver any data until after the opener has
returned.

Provide a trivial openable data blob object (as a generalisation of
the "hello world" data transfer interface example code) that will
simply deliver a single fixed blob of data to its parent interface and
then close itself.

iPXE network bootloader

Build Coverity Release

iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:

  • boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,

  • boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,

  • control the boot process with a script,

  • create interactive forms and menus.

You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.

iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).

You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.

For full documentation, visit the iPXE website.
