[U-Boot] U-boot roadmap?

[U-Boot] U-boot roadmap?

[Blibbet]

Hi,

First post on list.I'm mostly UEFI-centric, currently trying to learn
u-boot...

Is there any roadmap/plan for upcoming architectural changes to U-Boot?
I recently saw the below comment on a Debian ARM list. I'm hoping u-boot
has something like that, but more detailed, for newbies like me to
understand upcoming feature changes better. Discussion on driver models,
in particular.

PS: BTW, nice to see the "U-Boot Verified Boot" feature!

Please look into ELCE2014 slides from u-boot mini summit at Dusseldorf
(slides are available at denx.de webpage).

There was a presentation from Simon Glass regarding device model road
map.

There will be u-boot Mini Summit held at ELCE 2015 in Dublin. I think
that the road map issue is a good topic for our overall discussion
panel.

And even better - it does work :-)

But only 3 posts on u-boot so far, bear with me, more once I can get
u-boot verified boot to work for me... :-)
