Hi Blibbet,

Hi,

First post on list.I'm mostly UEFI-centric, currently trying to learn u-boot...

Is there any roadmap/plan for upcoming architectural changes to U-Boot?

Please look into ELCE2014 slides from u-boot mini summit at Dusseldorf (slides are available at denx.de webpage).

There was a presentation from Simon Glass regarding device model road map.

I recently saw the below comment on a Debian ARM list. I'm hoping u-boot has something like that, but more detailed, for newbies like me to understand upcoming feature changes better. Discussion on driver models, in particular.

There will be u-boot Mini Summit held at ELCE 2015 in Dublin. I think that the road map issue is a good topic for our overall discussion panel.

Mainline u-boot is currently in the process of slowly converting a large number of drivers and boards to the new driver model, which allows deriving platform configuration from device-trees. Whether and how it might be possible to adapt the kernel overlay model for u-boot as well is still open; work on u-boot in that area depends on the kernel side being settled first.

PS: BTW, nice to see the "U-Boot Verified Boot" feature!

And even better - it does work :-)
