Dear Tom Rini,

I don't consider it a big problem (just a bit sad) if ELDK 4.2 cannot be used for building these. However, I think it is not acceptable tobuild known-to-be-broken images. If the tool chain is too old, this shall result in a clear error message and abort of the build.
Is an #error in a common omap4/5 file sufficient or does it need to be sooner than that?
If it can be tested there, it can probably also tested before we start building at all?
Why is thumb mode needed for these boards? Just because of image size?
Basically, yes. Without thumb mode we're very close (and sometimes spilling over) the size limit. Thumb takes us away from that and is a small speed increase (due to smaller sized files).
size limit means size limit for the SPL due to limitations of the ROM boot loader resp. the available RAM size?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
