As I know it's supposed to be released today/tomorrow


Just had a discussion with developers working on Cubox-I support. They tried to push MXC SPL support for the CuBox-i upstream, didn't work out so far. Otavio suggested to use mainline without SPL for now, but I am skeptical about it. SPL is a very nice feature, it allows me to use the exact same installation for several Cubox-i machines.

The way I see it, there are two options for me:
1) Use the u-boot fork with MXC SPL support for now, until mainline supports MXC SPL. Then immediately switch to mainline by applying a patch to meta-fsl-arm-extra. 2) Use mainline without SPL, and live with the fact that I need a build for every single CuBox-i machine.

I personally favor (1), especially since it is already fully working for me. I could send the patches to the mailing list after a little cleanup. You seem to favor (2), since mainline is usually a better choice than some odd fork (I agree on this in principle, but in this case, I favor the fork).

Other boards are making use of this. The guys at Wandboard worked on it so that they could release a single image for all variants.

Why not add it to the default sdcard creation script and then make it enabled/disabled either at the machine level or cause it to be automatically selected by the SPL recipe?
