19 Description: Tool for booting operating systems on remote hardware
20 This program makes booting of an operating system (e.g. Linux or
21 NOVA) as simple as running a local program. It facilitates booting on
22 local or remote hosts or in emulators such as qemu. Novaboot
23 operation is controlled by command line options and by a so called
24 novaboot script, which can be thought as a generalization of
25 bootloader configuration files. Based on this input, novaboot setups
26 everything for the target host to boot the desired configuration,
27 i.e. it generates the bootloader configuration file in the proper
28 format, deploy the binaries and other needed files to required
29 locations, perhaps on a remote TFTP server and reset the target host.
30 Finally, target host's serial output is redirected to standard output

36 Description: Server-side scripts simplifying novaboot target configuration
37 This package allows controlling novaboot target hardware via simple,
38 unified, SSH-based interface. Most of the target configuration
39 happens on the server, novaboot clients only need to specify '--ssh
40 user@server' to use the target. The server is easily usable also
41 without novaboot - e.g. resetting the target is as simple as running
42 'ssh user@server reset'. The server contains logic that blocks other
43 user's requests, while somebody else is connected to target's
44 console. Blocked users see who is using the target and are
45 automatically unblocked when the target becomes free.
