Dear Peter Tyser,

I see your point. <nitpick>Its a bit confusing as U-Boot documentation seems to refer to "Standalone applications" alot, and in general that documentation is specifically referring jumptable applications. eg "doc/README.standalone" and "Standalone HOWTO" in README. If you dig you can find the API applications mentioned in api/README - I don't see it referenced much in either the standard location of /doc/* or /README. I guess my only point is that it would be great if the application documentation was consistent between the jumptable and API method, then it would be a a no brainer as far as naming /examples directory layout. As is, documentation implies "standalone application" means jumptable application.</nitpick>
Agreed. So far it seems that the *BSD boot loader folks are the only users of and the only developers interested in the API code.
eg: /examples/apps/[api|jumptable]. I'm also fine with leaving it the way I had it initially as all documentation currently implies standalone == jumptable, api = API method.
Agreed - that should besufficiently clear - at least for now.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
