You probably don't want to run it every time the board boots up.

Results are suposed to be reported through a mechanism compatible to Linux' syslog system. There is no place for progress indicators here. Please note that your subject "support arch-depended implementation" and the commit message "Add progress indicator" are seriously out of sync as well. Another reason for a NAK.
