The conversation about u-boot for Orange Pi One re-opened a curiosity for me. A friend of mine recently got Barebox/GUNLinux working with an old imx53 SOM I have (I've got like 10 of them! woo hoo!) and on the surface it seems to do the same thing as we use u-boot for: loads an executable from a fat partition. It seems to have support for quite a few modern arm SOMS. At $work, they have used Barebox to boot qnx too. Has anyone used Barebox to boot FreeBSD before? I ask because the fractured structure of u-boot seems to cause many issues. I don't see the Barebox project suffering from the same level of forking, but maybe I just haven't seen it yet? Cheers, Russ
