Hi all,

I got my talk, "Secure and flexible boot with U-Boot bootloader", accepted for 
the main track it seems. It's mostly about "use fitImage and use UBI on NAND" 
kind of talk, which covers introduction to fitImage and storing system 
components on UBI/UBIFS to prevent problems like silent data corruption on 
modern systems.

That being said, I believe I won't be able to cover the fitImage verified boot 
part properly, so I might as well cook a talk for the u-boot summit about this 
advanced topic.

What do you think ?
