I think the question here is how "standard" will SPL be for imx. How
many boards has already SPL support *now*?
I think it's something we need to start including, because it's the
next standard, however, we must make both working in parallel (spl and
non-spl).
And, I would say, it's better to include the additional source code
for SPL support directly to image_types_fsl instead of derivative it
only on meta-fsl-arm-extra
True. If more boards start using SPL, then it should become part of the
image_types_fsl class. Also, a flag to disable writing the uImage
outside of the partitions would also be useful (but not essential).
Overall I choose u-boot mainline always. It is our default bootloader,
at least in general lines.
The u-boot mainline hummingboard stability can be known with simple
test. And any additional support may be included. It's only a matter
of planing.
2014.01 is about to be released, and u-boot-fslc is about to be update
to that version. And we may thing about backport any accepted patch to
2014.01 if it's planned only to 2014.04.
Conclusion: I think the best is u-boot mainline, even if it need some
rework, it's the best long-term option, in my point of view.
This means I should wait until 2014.01 is released and added to oe-core
before I submit my cubox-i patches for meta-fsl-arm-extra ?
