Hey Julien, > Thank you very much for starting this doc. > This was already requested few months ago [1]. MediaTek, wanted to > handle this internally. Did you sync with them? Oh TIL. No, I didn't sync explicitly on this point but that thread is several months old and nothing was done about that so I think we can add a bit of documentation, we can revise it later if needed or if MediaTek wants to chime in (in CC). > Also a lot of stuff in this documentation is quite generic, maybe it > worth refactoring a bit to share it with other Genio EVKs? That is unfortunatel not exactly true. We are currently relying on an ABI contract between the loader and the SPL that is not yet standardized (I'll document it in the next revision). There is a conversation going on with several parties involved about this but this is still pretty much WIP. So also in this case I prefer to keep this contained for G510 and G700, we can revisit this once the contract has been formalized and extended to all the Gevio platforms. Cheers, -- Carlo Caione
