No, the header is still same. It is 0xEE3355AA.
My question was why ;) What's the point of adding the same magic value for a different SoC? Unless there's a good reason for doing so i think this needs to be fixed in the EEPROM programmer.
A magic value is sufficiently magical, I don't think we'll get anyone to change it at this point.
With almost half a dozen of AM335x board variants floating around this thing is bound to cause problems eventually. The EEPROM format can simply be updated to fix this. If there's a big resistance in doing this then we might as well live with it - but i would at least ask once ;)
The thing is, customers drop the EEPROM or come up with their own, see the Siemens am335x boards :)
