[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

Sorry for the late response. I just got a chance to test on a pinebook-pro, and
was able to use a generated image on it. Screen wouldn't turn on but I got a
functioning shell on serial; I was still just using mainline
linux-libre-arm64-generic so I don't think that's a bootloader problem.

I'm all for extensability, so that sounds good to me.

Over the past few days I've been playing with u-boot, and I think that the
install offset may be configurable, with the current offset just being used for
compatability with Rockchip's proprietary miniloader. I could make a patchset
to move u-boot up and test it out on the pinebook-pro and rockpro64, if that
would be a better solution?

Thanks!
