Re: [riot-devel] where to put bootloader?

[Mathias Tausig]

Well, the boot loader is actually a full application, which is something that
has not yet been part of the RIOT source tree. So I suggest to create a new base
directory "applications" under dist/ or root (I am leaning towards dist/) for it
and put it there. That would make it either at /applications/bootloader or
/dist/applications/bootloader.

cheers

Re: [riot-devel] where to put bootloader?

[Francisco Javier Acosta Padilla]

Hi!

I think I’m quite against `dist/tools/bootloader`. Most of the code there can 
be built by itself, which is not the case of the bootloader… I was maybe 
thinking about leave it there in the root or move it to sys/ as a module. The 
module option seems to me a bit adequate since is an optional feature we 
provide to some boards, and can be deactivated when is not needed.

Cheers,

Paco.

Hi everyone,

PR #7457 will introduce a bootloader application.

The question came up where to put it within the source tree?
Currently the PR puts it in the root folder (./bootloader).

Do we want that? Is there a better place?

Options:
examples/bootloader
dist/tools/bootloader
...

Hi,

gut feeling says `dist/tools/bootloader` (maybe something more unique than
just bootloader?), since it isn't really part of the system and not really
an example, but a quite specific application. Then again, for the same
reasons I could argue to put it in the root folder, that IMHO should be
kept small, however.

Cheers,
Martine
