I've read it but I'm afraid it's bit different from Boot Image Fallback.

Boot Image Fallback decides image to boot according to a order of images to 
boot and depending on previous boot has succeeded or not. So, this kind of 
mechanism is still needed.

Also, on Boot Image Fallback, "default" changes dynamically but "default 
booting configuration" is embedded in ".its" and it's static.


Anyway thank you. By the way, is it able to define "bootargs" for each image 
entry on ".its"?
