This may sound like a silly question but where does u-boot on the
cubox-i come from? is it loaded from a flash chip on the board? (like
on the nitrogen6x) is it loaded from the SD card boot sector? (like on
the wandboard quad) is it loaded by some other method?
In other words are we dealing with a case where a debian image for the
board will be supplying it's own u-boot? (in which case I think we
could reasonablly insist that people who want to use flash-kernel on
the board use a bootz capable u-boot) or are we dealing with a case
where people will be using a u-boot supplied by the board vendor? (in
which case one would need to find out if their standard u-boot
supported bootz).
At the level of my expertise here, there are no silly question ;-)
My understanding:
The IPL part is loaded from a flash chip, the SPL is loaded from the SD
card boot sector.
