andy, why don't you send this series to the xloader ML instead? is that supposed to be taken upstream or in a linaro version of xloader?
Hi Nicolas -
Well, from an outside perspective xloader is a bit difficult to find out how to interact with, I did not succeed to find out about any xloader mailing list (what are the coordinates of it?)
Here is the summary of my efforts to find xloader's home last night:
Its upstream appears to be here
https://gforge.ti.com/gf/project/bootloader/wiki/?pagename=X-Loader
but the latest stuff in the download link there is labelled "MLO-zoom2.v1.1" seemingly from 2009, and the version on my SD Card now reports
Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.41 (Oct 6 2010 - 17:27:48)
Going here in case linaro forked it
and searching for xloader x-loader MLO is dry.
I learn though that xloader sources are a sort of parasite on U-Boot sources. So looking here and searching for xloader
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=boot/u-boot-linaro-next.git%3Ba=summary
there are grep hits on X-loader xloader and MLO but they appear unrelated.
http://pixhawk.ethz.ch/wiki/tutorials/omap/replace_xloader
points to angstrom to get a binary with no sources in sight.
Beagleboard forked it, although the fork seems Omap-3 specific from the name
http://gitorious.org/x-load-omap3
it does have Panda support.
I looked inside the hwpack tarball to see if I could get a clue under which name to find the sources, there is no separate Panda u-boot or X-loader package although u-boot-tools and uboot-mkimage are there.
I used dpkg -c to look in each .deb in the hwpack, but none contain a file called MLO which is the name of X-loader on the SD Card.
In the end I found
which had the advantage of working when I built it and yielding 1.44 version, so I cc'd the guy running that in the patches.
