No, I don't. I think passing an image helps a lot. We've been not using wic at O.S. Systems as we've not been working in PC-style (EFI and BIOS) boards for a while. We started some discussion with Tom about how to better flexibilize wip so we can also use it for ARM based systems and extend it by BSP basis but didn't find time to work on this yet. It is nice to see more people involved with it. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
