At the moment, the following is implemented: - Detection of the U-Boot version - Loading of modified U-Boot version using JTAG - Logging in to supported versions of U-Boot - Setting up the U-Boot environment so the Toon boots into a serial console - Install and set up dropbear and sftp-server to let root user log in using an ssh key - Modify the firewall settings to enable remote access to ssh and http server - Generate SSH keys or let the user supply their own What it might do in the more distant future - Check the output from a few commands so we know if we're successful... - More fine-grained control of the installation package How safe is it? I don't know. You'll probably be fine. We're not overwriting the bootloader or important parts of the OS, so I don't see it really breaking anything, but you should make sure all wires are connected correctly, because otherwise you might short out something and break your Pi, Toon or both.
