Hardkernel is working on a new version of U-Boot for the ODROID-XU4, with the following capabilities:
- Enables the HYP mode for the KVM virtualization with Kernel 4.9 LTS
- Enables the Ethernet device to support the TFTP/PXE remote booting
- Boots from various new eMMC chipsets.
- All fatload and ext4load commands are available natively
- Many other new features
The new version of U-Boot is available on the latest update package for Linux, and Android 4.4 and Android 7.1 users will receive an update soon, which will include the fastboot protocol. The source code is available at http://bit.ly/2xrM7R3.
A sample boot log is shown below:
