Dear Simon Schwarz,
In message 4EDFA8FD.9000405@gmail.com you wrote:
So if the parse function fails, we should have the fallback to u-boot, exactly as we have now the fallback from u-boot.img to u-boot.bin.
Hm, I don't think that we want any fallback here. I would prefere an error message and hang. The direct boot is designed to be used in the field - so IMHO we don't want to start the bootloader automatically if a normal startup fails.
I feel it is better to start U-Boot and enable the user to analyze the situation instead of just hanging hard.
Just my 0.02#
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
