Why do we need different configurations for example for nitrogen6dl and nitrogen6dl2g? My understanding is that the difference is mainly the RAM size on the boards?
In this case it should be possible to configure U-Boot for the maximum possible RAM size (2 GB here?), then have get_ram_size() detect the actual available amount, and then adjust settings as needed.
At least this is how U-Boot ius supposed to work.
It is a maintenance nightmare if each and every configuration requires a separate U-Boot image. We don't want to have this.
Best regards,
