I 100% agree that dealing with a separate NOR boot ROM is so much more
easier. However, I also see booting from NAND data flash with a small
boot readable sector is quickly becoming popular in lower cost/smaller
footprint/less power consumption equipment.
IMHO instead of denying this reality, perhaps we (as U-Boot
developers/users) should make some enhancements to deal with this
situation in a formal supported way before too many forks occur.
After all it is supposed to be **Universal** boot loader. ;)
Best regards,
Tolunay
