By then it was far too late. The design was locked down by that point, with all its mistakes wired in. It's 23 years now, and for something we hope to use for the next 23 years, we can do better. Even device tree would be far better. I'd rather not take HOB as a given without considering alternatives. It's a very 1990s design. _______________________________________________ boot-architecture mailing list boot-architecture@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/boot-architecture
