Hi Heiko,

Maybe I'm wrong or I do not fully understand the limitation you're talking about, but as far as I understand the output (flash.bin) from the ronetix board [1] was generated using binman and includes all necessary parts. Is this right?
Building the imx8mq_cm_defconfig generates flash.bin + u-boot.itb.
If you only flash flash.bin, then you don't have a bootable system as flash.bin contains only the SPL part.
Prior to using binman, we could boot the i.MX8M boards by flashing only flash.bin.
I would like to preserver the pre-U-Boot 2021.07, where only flash.bin was needed.
I had taken the binman configuration from imx8mq_cm_defconfig and adapted it for my board (kontron-pitx-imx8m). I had copied the flash.bin image to my SD card and am of the opinion that this had started afterwards with the current u-boot. Unfortunately I can test it only next week again, because I currently have no device at hand.
You were right. I probably still had the old data from u-boot.itb on the SD card and therefore the board still started correctly.
But I also think that the flash.bin should have the complete content (spl + u-boot.itb) so that the board starts correctly.
Sorry for the noise.
