Hi,
as already indicated, we are looking forward to our next U-Boot Mini Summit at Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2014 which will take place in Düsseldorf, Germany from October 13 - 15.
The call for papers of the main conference is now open[1] and if you want to submit a talk for the main tracks, you should note the deadline of July 11.
For our U-Boot Mini Summit, I'd like to get the schedule completed synchronized to the schedule release of the main event, which is August 12. So please submit talk proposals here with at least me on CC.
To coordinate the event better, I have setup another wiki page[2] that can and _should_ be edited by the interested parties. Feel free for example to add yourself to the "interested participants" so that we get an idea of how many of the U-Boot developers will be there.
Best wishes
Detlev
Sorry for my late input on this regard. But if there's still a possibility to have another talk I'd like to propose mine "ARC - new first-class citizen in U-Boot" (which was declined for main ELCE2014 event).
Abstract is in-lined below.
=================== U-Boot is a de-facto standard bootloader for Linux-driven embedded systems. It provides flexible means for loading kernel and if required image of filesystem from different media be it embedded non-volatile memory, attached storage or even network share. Linux kernel was ported to DesignWare ARC a while ago and starting from version 3.9 the port was accepted upstream. Now to enable real-life device booting on custom hardware decision was made to port U-Boot for ARC. This presentation unveils reasons to start the project, highlights milestones passed during porting process, touches some pitfalls and encourages more engineers and companies to use and contribute to U-Boot project. ===================
I'm not sure if this kind of speech is of any interest for existing U-boot developers, but I may indeed emphasize technical aspects now.
Any feedback is more than welcome.
If that's an introduction to porting U-Boot, it might bring to light some new ideas about the porting process and also point out some obstacles we were not aware of. I think it's a good idea to have such a war story ;-)
