FWIW, I like the idea. Apart from streamlining the current code, it would allow building custom chains of bootloaders. One thing I could use for development would be a minimal stage that can load one of two "normal" / full-blown U-Boot versions, similar to dual BIOS support on modern x86 PCs. All devices I work with can be un-bricked reasonably easily, but for most of them it either requires manual interaction (e.g. the push-button for UART boot on CuBox) or prevents "normal" boots (e.g. removing the SD card on Wandboard so that it boots via USB _instead_ of from SD card). In addition, it would allow customising SPL features without having to introduce more special code. Sascha
