Dear Wolfgang,
1. So, my understanding is that fatload/fatls/etc have only MMC/SATA support now? No support for MTD?
2. Where can I find the description of "device driver model" you mention? When is it planned to be adopted?
Best, Vasili

On our system, we are interested in keeping all files, including the OS image and U-Boot second stage on FAT filesystem residing on a SPI flash.
I have not found existing U-Boot support for such functionality. Have I missed it?
We do not have FAT suppot on flash devices yet.
In any case, I'm willing to implement this, do you see it reasonable incorporating such code into U-Boot? (if it passes review of course)
I think the best way to implement this would require a two staged approach: in the first stage, U-Boot should adapte the device driver model we've been waiting for so long; in the second stage, the file system support would more or less fall into place on to of the then existing storage device drivers.
Best regards,
