I was going through my old email files and I thought this fit into some of the stuff that was being discussed, e.g. Tony on abstraction and Eric on too complex state machines. These guys do Linux on a static foundation, which eliminates a lot of uncontrollable unknowns.

Good one.
I agree with Mike that the flat model format bFLT and its tools need a
better public face. Including insight/documentation of the format and
its tools. I also see that other orphaned bits like cramfs are also
in the same boat as well.

I will set up bflt.uclinux.org and elf2flt.uclinux.org and have them
redirected to
a page such as www.uclinux.org/bFLT as well as add the link to the
side bar.
From that page I will add the link to the wiki page:
https://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=toolchain:elf2flt

I have already dropped him an email requesting permissions to move his
excellent piece over to uclinux.org/bFLT.
