It seems that was the right approach: you can jump to Linux or you can jump to the U-boot provided by Android anyway, whatever your setup > So android dual bootloader feature not enabled. I think this step will depend on the use-case you have: at the moment we have a base build capable of booting Linux kernel, but this can easily be extended with specific defconfig to build in boota command or whatever else is required. > But SPL mostly not have MMU enabled.. > > Regards, > Peng. > >>> Regards, >>> Peng. >>> >>>>>> If you can do that, I think it would be better because we decouple >>>>>> the UBoot build from the Xen build completely.
