I have used Raspberry Pi for my bachelor thesis. What I wondered is
that GPU is used for boot process: "Is there a GPU binary? Yes. The
GPU binary also contains the first stage bootloader." [1]
There is this boot programm Video Core (VC). Thats the one that
resides in /opt/vc . As far as I know, that tool is resonsible for
boot and I can guess I would say second stage. But it is very
difficult to use this tool and GPU sepcifications were not public [2].
Maybe you find other images than the offical one, that use barebox as
default [3]?
I have heard many stories about Raspberry Pi foundation being set up
by Broadcom to make their devices popular. I do not remember the
sources. No offense to the guys from raspberry pi foundation.
Working with the bcm2835.c file to implement an SPI user-space modul I
got a similar impression. On LinuxTag 2013 in Berlin this plattform
has been criticized for not conforming to open hardware standards.
(The eagle files were hard to find).
If you find a solution nevertheless, I would be very much interested
as well.
Greetings,
Adam
