Sure, that's basically what we have in mind, except that there may not even be a microswitch (although I'd like to have at least a jumper), but just a resistor you'd have to unsolder to do this. The issue is that our users (= hackers) can also replace critical system components with their own code. So we don't only have to protect against unwanted changes, but also again users fully intending the change, say, the boot loader. Now, if there's a bug in the new boot loader that breaks it, they will have a means to restore something that works. This is a bit different from the regular consumer device, where people will at most install some nice, well-tested vendor updates. - Werner -- _________________________________________________________________________ / Werner Almesberger, Buenos Aires, Argentina [EMAIL PROTECTED] / /_http://www.almesberger.net/____________________________________________/ _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
