I've got a list of "nice to haves" Any boot time speed up work. Support for 2nd stage booting from NAND with newer filesystems such as UBIFS. i.e. simplified UBI/UBIFS read/write/format code in a small footprint. TFTP server in a boot loader (U-boot or other). i.e. allows you to push a firmware upgrade image to a device. I do know of a few of these but they are not open sourced. Just my 2 cents. Aras
