David Anderson ff7a0b56c6 pixiecore: Add a retry loop in the iPXE boot.
iPXE has an annoying race condition where it sometimes doesn't notice
the ProxyDHCP response when booting, and fails. So we embed a boot
script in the builtin iPXE binaries that implements the retry loop
recommended in the documentation. Empirically, this has resolved
flaky boots on my test machine, usually no more than a single
retry is needed.

Netboot, packages and utilities for network booting

license Travis api

This repository contains Go implementations of network protocols used in booting machines over the network, as well as software that make use of those implementations.

This is not an official Google project.

The canonical import path for Go packages in this repository is go.universe.tf/netboot.

Libraries

  • pcap: Pure Go implementation of reading and writing pcap files.
  • dhcp4: DHCPv4 library providing the low-level bits of a DHCP client/server (packet marshaling, RFC-compliant packet transmission semantics).
  • tftp: Read-only TFTP server implementation.
  • pixiecore: the functionality of Pixiecore (see below), in library form. Every stability warning in this repository applies double for this package.

Programs

  • Pixiecore: an all-in-one tool for easy netbooting.
