We having been discussing uboot on SPI as a way to get bootable PCIe NVMe drives. Yet the consensus is that the SPI is for a version of uboot, (or other firmware), that is quite stable.
But, we can also do some interesting things for recovery. If uboot is not that big, perhaps we can have 2 versions, with a tiny bit of code to select the most current, unless a special key is held down. Then it uses the prior release. That may help prevent some of the bricking of the PBP that has been disscused for new, but faulty firmware.
This could apply to both eMMC and SPI., though eMMC is an easier un-brick than SPI.
Just an idea.
