After "win32 fastboot" came out so you can do it all in windows, I stopped work on "sbloader for linux" (less need for it). It would still be nice to do it all from linux and not need windows.
I did provide the unfinished source for my rockbox sbloader port to kindle for somebody that requested it. That was quite some time ago -- apparently they did not complete it either. It runs enough to talk to the kindle in USB Downloader mode and dump out status messages, but cannot upload and run a uboot image yet.
I wanted to do a custom uboot image that can export the serial port and the mmc contents over USB, and expand sbloader to become an SSH-like "USB Downloader" terminal program (so you do not need a serial port to use u-boot bist functions). Too many projects, and too little time...
