Well, the old sunxi u-boot is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. I don't think that maintaining compatibility with it is a good thing: it encourages people to use that deprecated piece of software and is a waste of time. This is why I only mentioned upstream U-Boot. -- Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant developer Replicant is a fully free Android distribution running on several devices, a free software mobile operating system putting the emphasis on freedom and privacy/security.
