Hello Igor,

although this email is directed to you, I am CC'ing our Special Interest
Group ARM mailing list for archiving purposes.

As you know, we are currently working on rebasing IPFire on Linux 3.10
and we are introducing a multiplatform kernel which is supposed to run
on a lot of ARM boards including Utilite.

We made progress and solved some very hard to solve grsecurity-related
issues in association with Brad, so that we currently have a kernel
which boots on a Wandboard Quad - also based on the same Freescale SoC
you are using. Some patches for supporting Utilite are already included,
so that I have very high hopes, that this kernel will already boot on
that hardware as well.

The Utilite I have got, unfortunately comes with an old version of
u-boot, which does not support the bootz command that is required to
easily boot a multiplatform kernel.
Could you please provide the sources so that we can build a version of
u-boot with our requirements? It would also be great if this is a more
recent one (don't know if there is development going on behind closed
doors).

I also think I remember that Utilite will run the bootloader it can find
on the micro SD card, if I don't confuse this with an other device. So
that if I want to replace/test my own version of u-boot I don't need to
flash the internal one. I cannot find the documentation about this
matter any more and I would like to know where the u-boot image needs to
be placed in order to be executed.

Thank you very much for your help.

-Michael
