I'm thinking more about NAND on iMX6. Which doesn't support SPL (until now). We could add a new build target for imx6 for NAND booting as well. Not sure if this is better moved to a build target or to the imximage generation tool? > For SPI NOR, something > similar could be done, or this could be done by imximage. Yes. Perhaps its best to add this to imximage. Thanks, Stefan _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
