But I searched a bit, and can see that sunxi-tools is already packaged in some linux distributions, for example: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sunxi-tools Maybe it's better to keep the 'fel' tool in the 'sunxi-tools' package and just make sure that it gets reasonably well supported in linux distributions. In addition, there might be other bootloaders or "bare metal" users. I have found this very cool project, which relies on the FEL mode and allows to run code on the OpenRISC core in Allwinner A31: https://github.com/skristiansson/ar100-info What's particularly interesting is that it apparently had the DRAM controller support for A31 (sun6i) even before this was implemented in u-boot :) -- Best regards, Siarhei Siamashka -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
