But we also don't want to make this needlessly complicated. The general intention here is that we have some boot methods that are incompatible with others. For example, if a board lacks NOR and we try and run a binary that expects NOR, we panic today. So for beaglebone (where there is a NOR cape that you can boot from) we need a special build that does know about NOR. At some level, once we have enough things in DM some of this special casing can go away I hope. -- Tom -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
