Last year I brought up the topic twice: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=46F384E6.5030603%40grandegger.com > One question I have is how does (or should) u-boot identify where to > find the device tree.

Yep, it's even feasible to flash more than one blob and select one somehow in the early boot phase. Our main interest in using FDT for U-Boot is to make it dynamically configurable having just one image for various variants of the hardware. Replacing config.h completely seems overkill to me (and will not even be possible).
