Hi Amit, Zach, and Alexander, Thanks for your sharing about u-boot + Android 'fastboot' protocol/commands support. At least, patched u-boot works out of box on TI OMAP platforms. Can we define the basic boot loader requirements of Linaro Evaluation Build (LEB) for Android at present? I think it would be essential for validation and Android platform verification purpose. My idea is that we require abstract 'bootloader' component in Android device/linaro/common, and (patched) 'u-boot' would be the provider of 'bootloader' component in device/linaro/Linaro-Evaluation-Build-Hardware. Also, supporting firmware upgrade through 'fastboot' protocol is the recommend feature for LEB boot loader. Does it sound reasonable? Thanks, -jserv _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
