barebox bootloader

Wrapping up the barebox demo @FrOSCon soon. Thank you to the visitors who stopped by! We had a great time playing some snake with you, helping you try out the tutorial or showing you, that yes, of course it runs (bare)DOOM.

Visitor standing in front of a keyboard with two displays, one is a LED panel and the other is a small HDMI monitor. The LED panel shows the game snake in rainbow colors, while the HDMI monitor shows a barebox shell with the logo (A stylized B looking like a factory with a chimney) in the background.
A close up of the hardware demo. It shows a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W that is connected to a USB keyboard and a HDMI monitor as well as a LED panel connected to the Raspberry Pi by a blue cable as well as a PWM buzzer.

barebox bootloader

For those who didn't have the chance to stop by, the latter two are largely identical to what we have at barebox.org/demo, except that it ran on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 this time.

The LED panel were a string of Neopixels controlled by the Raspberry Pi's PCM interface and exposed to the rest of barebox as second /dev/fb device, just like the HDMI, but a bit smaller. The patches to enable that should hit the barebox mailing list soon!
