[U-Boot] suggested/stealable setups for robustness with switchable partitions?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  followup to my earlier post, i'll keep this short as i want to do
some research first, but i'm looking for setups where target boards
have dual partitions that switch between active and inactive for
reliability.

  first, i can see that there are some examples in u-boot already.
there's the taurus board:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=include/configs/taurus.h;h=882a4e5dbffff4aa59ca87a61548f1e0df224da1;hb=HEAD
http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=board/siemens/taurus/taurus.c;h=8da24be56838a23e064055fe3bfbea3eb78fb321;hb=HEAD

etamin:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=include/configs/etamin.h;h=4919cfe3536462fa3a8d62a90f660d6ff5e0bf14;hb=HEAD

siemens-am33x-common.h:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=include/configs/siemens-am33x-common.h;h=eab665c2866b66702593bd0feed04f85cdbe872a;hb=HEAD

am335x_shc.h:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=include/configs/am335x_shc.h;h=f2484cb17020e541c47beb39fcce60943260d045;hb=HEAD

so i'll do some reading before i ask more specific questions. but if
you have pointers to other examples, i'm probably going to write a
wiki page summarizing this so others can check it out.
