Can they use initramfs for this ?
Apparently that's also uncool with the embedded folks.
What's uncool with embedded folks? To use initramfs for firmware ?
If so can you explain why ?
Because it is not needed? If you are embedded you have an option of
only compiling drivers and services that you need directly into the
kernel, then initramfs is just an extra piece that complicates your
boot process.
