| 12 | == U-Boot on Openmoko status == |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Openmoko uses a private fork of U-Boot (source available in their Git repository) which is not part of the up-stream sources. U-Boot is ''deprecated'' as a booting solution for Openmoko. Nevertheless it still comes as the default loader. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Openmoko plan to replace U-Boot with Qi, a stripped down version of Openmoko U-Boot. It has practically no features (no boot menu, no DFU, no API) but it presumably supports u-Boot images as the primary means of booting. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Qi does much less HW initialization than U-Boot so it may be necessary to add more HW initialization to HelenOS to support it. (E.g. turning on display backlight). |
