IIRC (correct me if wrong) the kernel crash dump software in question is actually U-Boot and not proprietary at all. Knock yourself out with the source code :-) http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=bsp/st-ericsson/u-boot-ux500.git;a=summary The problem is that it cannot be replaced due to being deployed in a lot of static configurations. A problem which is pretty common in the ARM community, people do not like to replace their bootloaders at all, even if they do have the source code (under GPL). Maybe it can be reworded so this is clear?
