Hi,

I'm wondering if folks in the boot architecture team have any input on this?

Hi Deepak, all,  According to this cycle's eMMC4.5 requirements in [1], there is no need to provide any specific support in the boot loader for Boot partition, right ?  As of 3.1, the Kernel recognizes the boot partitions and exposes them as read-only. Any user space tool can update the data in the boot partition by overriding the sysfs entry, and writing the appropriate data.  Let me know if there are any specific expectations on this.

Thanks and regards, Venkat.
