I fancied the idea of using a GPT/EFI partition table for sdcards used on sunxi devices, but it seems that GPT takes the first 34 sectors of the card (with sectors of 512B, that's the first 17kiB), while the U-Boot SPL starts at sector 16 (that's at 8kiB), so there is a conflict here.
Is anyone aware of another offset from which U-Boot SPL could be load by the bootrom? I have started reverse engineering the bootrom code to find out if there is such a thing in place (which I very much doubt, but who knows, maybe Allwinner thought about this), but I'd appreciate any info before spending too much time on it.
