Description
Context I'm going to provide:
- Android bootflow (current situation, problems, focus on bootloaders fragmentation which leads to upstream features adoption delays)
- Overview of the boot standards (UEFI, Coreboot, etc)
- GBL proposal (revealing early specs, focus on OEM requirements/customizations)
- How to try GBL with Cuttlefish
Potential discussion points:
- Updatability (A/B integration, bootloader still needs to have a slot choosing logic, asking for ideas)
- Multithreading and UEFI (sharing our thoughts on parallel boot in UEFI, asking community for ideas)
- Fastboot and network (some bootloaders may have a very limited network stack so it may be beneficial to bring network stack with GBL, sharing our thoughts on this, asking community for the feedback/ideas).
- GBL and UI (the idea of bringing some UI related logic with GBL is controversial, sharing out thoughts, looking for OEMs/community feedback)
