      1 This project has the source code to build two binaries: bios.bin and
      2 vgabios-cirrus.bin, which are required for x86 emulation in the
      3 Android emulator: platform/external/qemu.

      6 SOURCE CODE
      7 
      8 + bios.bin: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/bochs/bochs.git
      9 
     10   The file bios.bin is actually BIOS-bochs-latest, which is built from
     11 bochs/bios. We used the following commit in the bochs git tree so that
     12 it can match with the qemu tree in platform/external/qemu:
     13 
     14     commit 04387139e3b5ac97b5633cd40b3d87cdf45efd6c

     18         Fixed compilation error + x86-64 correctness fix
     19 
     20   Since our purpose is to build only rombios16.bin, we populated part
     21 of the bochs tree in the git tree above.
     22 
     23 + vgabios-cirrus.bin: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/vgabios/vgabios.git
     24 
     25   The file vgabios-cirrus.bin is VGABIOS-lgpl-latest.cirrus.bin, which
     26 is built by the tree, and we used the following commit.
