Subject: [RAUC] boot-mbr-switch from u-boot

Hello RAUC community,
I am integrating RAUC into a Xilinx ZynqMP device and using boot-mbr-switch method according to documentation chapter 7.6.2. Bootloader is u-boot, RAUC u-boot scripts are from contrib/uboot.sh, RAUC is v1.2 (upgrade planned).
When switching between slots from within u-boot the MBR partition table is not altered. So when installing a new system (inclduing new bootloader partition content) which doesn't boot 3 times, after the fallback we run the new bootloader partition with the old rootfs. Do I understand this from the source code correctly?
In my opinion this is a major problem, because on Xilinx ZynqMP the bootloader partition contains the Xilinx bootbin, a first stage bootloader which flashes the FPGA firmware before starting u-boot. In this case we run the old linux against a new FPGA and have an inconsistent system after the RAUC fallback.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks and regards,
Martin Hollingsworth
