Subject: [U-Boot] Updating a system
Date: Tue, 28 Dec 2010 02:54:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1293522848.3652.647.camel@t-dhlii> (raw)

	I need to setup a system so that it can boot a user web updateable
kernel/rootfs or a failsafe version. The process has to be manageable by
completely non-technical users and work from a single flash media - no
plugging in an SD card or USB stick to recover.
	Before I re-invent the wheel is there an existing scheme to manage
multiple boot choices with an automatic fallback to a failsafe ?
