I can load a Longsleep linux, and even some hand crafted 64Bits uboot with EFI from mainline, however, I've several questions regarding low-level and hardware related code.
From what I read here and there, at the initialization, the BROM is calling the boot0 binary which seems to be a closed source SPL program.
Could you explain me which limitations do you see about this unsourced boot0 SPL?
I'm thinking about reversing it but it would be something a little bit time consuming so I would love to have examples of really usefull features that could be implemented (on U-Boot/Linux for examples) without these limitations.
The open source SPL code may already provided at Sunxi, you can goto Sunxi IRC and ping "apritzel".
