Interesting (mostly for emmc devices, of which there are a few sunxi ones now). I'm still not sold on having 2 entries for each and every board though. Have you looked at extending the SPL buildsys bits, which in essence do 2 builds, to do 3 builds for sunxi, so that we simply always build both SPL flavors? Regards, Hans
