Dear Macpaul Lin,

However, according to the current design specification, AndesTech is trying to provide a feature which made user could "warm restart" back into u-boot when u-boot is the 2nd boot loader.
What would be the benefit of such an option?
For example, if user have did some env setting manually before booting OS, and then he want's to drop all those previous env modification. He just need to restart the u-boot which is already in the memory, then the default env parameters will comes back.
The start.S and lowlevel_init.S in evb_loader and in u-boot are the same.
Then your evb_loader is GPLed, too?
Yes, although the evb_loader department have created two different evb_loader, one is proprietary license, and the other is GPL license. Which evb_loader I'm working with is the GPL one. All our customers who bought the evb could choose which one software package to be shipped (supported) with. However, I'm not belong to that department.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
