Nice. 😊 From what I know, Lynx wanted the "feature" of being able to impersonate Linux, so once it´s builtin between real OS and U-Boot, it is a no-brainer with "nothing to be changed".
But it seems like that detection in U-Boot was not working properly, then Lynx built on top (unaware of the check that needed to be inplace), and then I came with my "quick´n´dirty" solution. 😊 Maybe the really-proper-solution would be that Lynx just does the complete proper impersonation of Linux, if that is what they really want as a feature. But to clarify this, we would need some one from their side. I have contact with them, should I establish a trilateral talk on this topic?

It seems like before our validation check wasn't working and so claiming to be Linux, but not being Linux, wasn't caught and failed. The right path here is to add IH_OS_LYNXSECURE to include/image.h and handling of it in the various boot/ files that need it. Then the its should have 'os = "lynxsecure"' so that it sets that field correctly. -- Tom
