Eric and Otavio - Thanks for your advice. I have already worked on putting this into meta-fsl-arm-extra. Just to make sure that I am clear - would a series of patches to add u-boot-imx support for Wandboard be accepted or are you only focusing on U-boot mainline at this point?
Is there any advice you can give on how to break these up? Otavio - The wandboard folks do not have an external git repo we could use to create a nice recipe. You have to download and unpack the xz tarball, which contains all of the sources and precompiled binaries. And, I think they started with an earlier version of u-boot and the kernel. I suppose we could put them all on github and then point recipes to that. The initial u-boot support that I'm attempting to provide has ethernet functionality which their SDK lacks on top of the latest u-boot-imx. Thanks for your patience.
