I don't rememeber if this came up the last time we discussed bootloader standardization, but there's a spec: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/ ... which sounds like it'd be interesting if all bootloaders going forward implemented, and all distros assumed. Pengutronix had a nice demo of this at their booth at ELCE. Of course, there's also extlinux (syslinux/...?) that Dennis Gilmore proposed the last time this was discussed here, which is likely quite similar. Perhaps all the distros can just pick one of these options, mandate it in order for a board to be supported by atrbitrary distros in a standard out-of-the-box way (as opposed to people wanting to set things up in a custom fashion, which could still be allowed if they do the work themselves locally), and then we can move forward getting it implementing in relevant bootloaders? _______________________________________________ cross-distro mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-distro
