It seems that distributions tend to focus on native U-Boot support for extlinux-like configuration and direct loading of Linux kernel/FDT. Recently it came up for openSUSE, reasons were named
1. upstream U-Boot prefers extlinux for loading, CONFIG_API is considered edge case, deprecated. They do not consider GRUB valid reason to maintain it :) 2. GRUB requires patching for each board to set valid link address 3. some general issues on specific boards 1 requires active commitment from U-Boot community, apparently it is lacking. To properly fix 2 we need relocation support in U-Boot; which again returns us to "GRUB not being interesting to U-Boot community" :) 3 depends on motivation to debug and fix issues; as long as GRUB is not considered there is none. So what should we do with this port? _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
