It is a solid and commonly used bootloader. I consider U-Boot the industry standard, but Barebox is also widely used, and it makes sense to be part of OE-Core. I do not quite understand why barebox needs to be specifically in oe-core. There's a well maintained layer for it: https://github.com/menschel-d/meta-barebox so once all those meta-phytec recipes are phased out in favour of using that layer, there's no fragmentation. Alex
