Since the proposal was made, U-Boot has developed a lot; especially the SPL framework is now a well-supported standard feature. This will make it easier to implement the proposed features, but to the best of my knowledgt this has still not been done yet. > Currently I'm working in a product with a _very_ long-life, yet based > in NAND flash, > and so I would have considered the ability to have the bootloader in a > bad block aware > device very appealing. I think many users are not really aware of the specific properties of NAND flashbased memory, or they push aside such concerns. In most cases (like short-living or little-used consumer devices) this works fine, resp. other errors pop up so much more frequently that this problem receives no real attention. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in deeper details. > ... and in the same vein, I would really appreciate to have some > status information about each > proposed project.
