Hi, Sorry for jumping in at them middle of the thread, I skimmed over it, without realizing that this is something I'm very much interested in. As you probably have seen I plan to add official allwinner support to F-21: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AllwinnerSunxiSupport I personally like what I'm doing with the Allwinner remix images better then the 2 images to dd idea. What I've there is: 1) A boards dir on the boot partition which contains u-boot .bin files as well as dtb files for all supported boards 2) A script "select-boards.sh" which can be run from the sdcard when inserted into any linux machine (*), which then presents a (ncurses) menu to the user allowing the user to select his board, and then does all the needed setup to get the image ready for that board. This has the big advantage that once the image has been written to an sdcard, it can be used with any supported board, just run the script to change it to another board. For devel and qa purposes this is much easier then needing to have a list of boot.img files somewhere which then need to be dd-ed to the card on a PC to switch it to a different board (if the dd step will even still work a second time). It also avoids needing to present a download page with a gazillion boot img files. Currently the allwinner images contain support for 52 boards, and this allwinner devices alone! I was already planning on making my script work with more devices then just allwinner devices and making it part of the F-21 images. So yes I'm willing to spend time on this. As for vfat versus ext2 boot, what about having both? I've seen images which have a boot1 and a boot2 partition, I assume this is for exactly this reason. We should probably give them better names though :) Regards, Hans *) Including from an arm machine running from the card to switch the image from one board to another without needing to put it into a PC in between. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
