We are looking at the yosemite design but want a CF2 socket for the OS 
image.   Can U-Boot reside in the EEPROM accessible via I2C?  

This would allow us to remove the flash entirely in favor of the CF2 
flash.  If yes, are there any drawbacks to this vs. keeping a small bit 
of flash soldered to the board?
