Hi,
I've been reading these messages. Excellent discusssion about this device.
A few questions still remain:
1. Is it really so, that Nvidia sold me 8 core device, but I only got 4 cores because even stock FW does not use but only A57 cores? All four A53 cores stand there for nothing?
2. I have a pro version. FW seems to sit firmly on HDD. I also have 16GB of EMMC but it's just for nothing too. Right?
3. Is it really so, that stage 1 boot is locked behind a secure key so that it's not possible to even advanced user to put FW on EMMC so that HDD remains totally for apps and user files?
4. I suppose that even with limitations listed above it might be possible to make this:
- load bootloader from HDD and make it to load kernel + rootfs from microSD.
If this was possible, it would be easy to change OS by just booting with different SD card. Is there such a bootloader already available? If not, should we expect to have it from Nvidia?
