Pelican

Open source bootloader and pre-boot firmware for ComputerCraft.

Dependencies and execution

Pelican expects to be ran under FeatherBIOS and as a result requires the following functions to be present on top of the bare ComputerCraft functions left over by UnBIOS:

• print() (and by extension write())
• read() (and by extension os.pullEvent())
• dofile() (and by extension loadfile() and a loadstring() and load() that act like Lua 5.2+)

FeatherBIOS generally loads into the bootloader/post-BIOS payload via dofile(boot.lua) and as a result, Pelican should be placed at /boot.lua.
