On Freescale's website, it is VF6xx everywhere, but you add a leading M (_M_VF600). Is it because you are using an internal SoC name known only by Freescale and different from the marketing SoC name, or is this M from the part number, or will the marketing SoC name change later, or some other reason? Please clarify. U-Boot users must be able to identify a SoC and to find information about it easily. > > The u-boot runs on Cortex A5 core. [...] Best regards, Beno?t
