I did not mean to come over that way, but in re-reading what I wrote, it appears I did. So, starting over, but with your context. Currently the only way I know of finding out the status, and work being done on u-boot is from this mailling list and this wiki page. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/u-boot_syslinux Is there another place with the status, or is it ok to ask here from time to time? > So now that we're over the above this is our plans for both F-23, and > how to move them back to F-22, open to suggestions and even better > patches to help out :-) > > 1) a means of more easily upgrade u-boot to a newer version in a > released image.

I've very good at debuging code/configurations. My only limitation is that I currently only own a Pi, beaglebone black, and pcduino3 Nano, with a Pi2 (hopefully) on the way.
