Yeah, it's a bit hacky. But I don't like the weird spreading-out of bootloader installers as opposed to bootloader packages either. It would be nicest if upstream just included installation scripts :P How the board will boot depends *only* on the Sytem-On-a-Chip in use - for example all the Allwinner sunxi chips boot the same way. Usually it's just what the vendor decided to use years (decades) ago and it stays the same over many many chip generations. --Sig_/0wph_3xynCvhJkvUzxbL4Rs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEds7GsXJ0tGXALbPZ5xo1VCwwuqUFAlr4FuYACgkQ5xo1VCww uqUGUQf/bFOdIC+30tEFxJz6r4OMMHcVu1MLldiJ4IC5jrMVCzy4NG6OUpvlKVC3 X4CXpEbQZ/53oj4Slnubl6ByyPf/YsAFjp1o2UjTVuG7z3qKrkrroY7lNBRQwmoj K2O3rRZZi0tO5SAFR3ahOtjlRKny9G77887RLZqen+ywU/zijEexKRCSGYPtYP/M lZS5/TDeGldPcDOZ2UF7s0pIexdzk1abTCnW6Iec4zuJTlL+h+CBPeU2A9ysKTP9 kaV8apIjy3FOPHjutqW8XDR54SfQQ3u9c2ddVBrDueoaFMZCZWMBEyBOxXbbfcxi KKLD08EfqC7k0xWWWd/eKqKmGXwfKw== =tkCo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/0wph_3xynCvhJkvUzxbL4Rs--
