Re: T and G commands

2006-01-14 by jayasooriah

Dear philips_apps,

While I very appreciative that you have responded, I note you have
chosen to do this selectively.

You have not to address CSI vulnerability when "U 0 0 0 0 0" yet
again.  The inference is that it exists.  Also, the T command does
work on 1.52 version of the loader and I am not sure why you say it
does not.

Nontheless, as the T command and the 'tEsT' argument serve no useful
purpose, a very positive outcome of the discussion so far would be the
removal of these two features from the boot loader itself, not just
its documentation.

When I get back from my holidays (in about three weeks), I will
explain the why I am making this request, in the context of CRP security.

Thanks again for responding.

Kind regards,

Jaya
