Yes but OE is not the best reference here. There we can do whatever is need. One thing I do miss is consistency. I've been trying to keep all Freescale boards I work with in sync, and it does make my life easier so I don't need to read the environment to understand how to accomplish what I need. Simon's proposal for text version of default environment is a move to the right direction, it seems, as will easy reuse of environment among boards. I think, specially for development kits, the default environment must be as flexible and generic as possible. Part of product development will be trimm it to fulfil product needs. I agree with Tom that we need to get a better and more general used default environment setting. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
