@mntmn @barebox @ailurux It usually works though as barebox ports most drivers from Linux, but corner cases can happen.What soft-bricking concern do you have? Is it about the bootloader update in the field (this is possible on RK3588 in a power-fail safe manner!) or is it about the updated bootloader behaving unexpectedly?If it's the latter, an unexpectedly behaving chainloaded bootloader would still require disassembly to access the serial console, so I don't see the chainloading advantage?

@mntmn @barebox @ailurux Do the crashes occur during barebox runtime or during kernel startup? In any case, it would be good to know about it upstream.But yes, I see the utility of U-Boot checking the SD-Card and then loading barebox from eMMC (for now.. ;)By the way, you (or @josch) may be interested in https://lore.kernel.org/barebox/20260428132811.3691086-1-eagle.alexander923@gmail.com as that might allow you to reuse your existing extlinux.conf setup with barebox as well.

@mntmn @josch There was indeed a lot of speed up left on the table. Should be much faster now! https://fosstodon.org/@barebox/116776407751581421RT: https://fosstodon.org/users/barebox/statuses/116776407751581421
