We are indeed using an ARM platform (based on an Atmel AT91 SoC, but I
haven't submitted a patch for our specific board yet). We are primarily
using Barebox as a bootloader for the Linux kernel, but some of our
customers want to our boards as eval kits for other operating systems
(ie: eCos and FreeRTOS).
It's only for those other operating systems that we need the ability to
load and execute ELF images, we're still using zImage for the Linux
kernel and I'd feel bad for dumping a lot of kexec work on you when we
don't really need to be able to boot Linux with it.
Cheers,
Owen
