Boot Loader Specification (UAPI Group)

[Sebastian Veit]

Dear devs of U-Boot,

I'd like to know if there's already a work in progress
on the support of the "fairly new" Boot Loader Specification [1].

Summary of the new spec: Defines a set of file formats and
naming conventions to allow distribution independent
boot loader menus supportable by multiple bootloaders.

Don't confuse this specification with the one you've already
implemented for syslinux [2]. It seems like the similar name
confused people in the past [3].

Maybe it'll be part of the new bootflow design - that has
been introduced in v2022.07 [4] - some time in the future?


Thanks in advance,
Sebastian Veit
