Android "fast boot" on a BB-xM

[Richard Phillips]

Hello,

Does anyone know if Android "fast boot" has been implemented (via u-boot?) for the BB-xM?  I've been searching but not found anything of significance...

Regards,
Richard,

mainline u-boot has some fastboot support, but only for booting and not for flashing at this time.  That's probably OK for BB-xM since it doesn't have persistent storage you can't write from elsewhere.  Is there something specific you're looking for?

I was indeed hoping to have the flashing support also - it is possible to implement it, or do I need to forget about it?!

Well, if you pick up one of the android trees that supports bb-xM specifically it may have flashing support somehow hooked up for the SD card, I've not played with those trees.

Do you have a specific Android tree in mind, so I can check it out?
