Very cool, thank you Matteo! The big problem now is the time to find
to play with it :-)

I can see we also depend on *.dtb and *.dat files that are somehow
PITA on other OS (i.e. FreeBSD) as the DTS standard changes often it
is hard to follow changes and find versions that allow run provided
pre-built images..

What are your experiences in this field? Are these files really
necessary? Is it part of UBoot configuration?

Sorry I did not watch the PR I was on delegation and getting back to
the living.. the website is now updated :-)

Thank you :-)
