Hi Marek,

I got my talk, "Secure and flexible boot with U-Boot bootloader", accepted for the main track it seems. It's mostly about "use fitImage and use UBI on NAND" kind of talk, which covers introduction to fitImage and storing system components on UBI/UBIFS to prevent problems like silent data corruption on modern systems.
Excellent!
That being said, I believe I won't be able to cover the fitImage verified boot part properly, so I might as well cook a talk for the u-boot summit about this advanced topic.
We had a talk about that exact topic last year on the main track by Simon and in the mini summit by Jagan Teki[1]. In what respect will your talk differ from that?
I believe there is never enough advertising when it comes to fitImage, since we want to get rid of uImage. On the other hand, I see no point in artificially filling the talk slots, so consider my offer only as a backup solution.
Why do we want to get rid of uImage? It's easier to work with than fitImage. Or do you just mean get rid of legacy multi-image support?
