Hello Wolfgang,

U-Boot now exceeds 1.5 millions lines of code.

Nice! and it is still called a bootloader? It is getting a OS on itself ;-)))

Yes.

I don't think so. Such discussions and requests have been seen several times on the U-Boot mailing list. U-Boot has neither something like a scheduler nor other typical features, like "background processes", queues or general interrupt handlers. So it is quite far away from something which *nowadays* I would call on operating system.

With best regards
Andreas
