> 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
