You have sure in Freescale a better visibility how to group together this feature. Is the newer header typical for the MX53 or are there other processors using the same structure ? John has already pointed out that the MX28 is very similar, and, after reading the manual, it seems to me it has the same header as the MX53. Can we distinguish with a header version ?
In fact, the group should be the followings,
mx25/35/51 mx53 mx23/28,
Here the mx23/28 are much different with mx53 and mx25/35/51. mx23/28 is Sgmatel chips and buy-in by Freescale years before.
Ok, understood.
As I can see, the actual header is used at least by the MX35, not only by the MX51. So I would prefer a way to group together processors with the same header structure else to define a processor type.
OK, I get it. You want to use version number to group it. Can we do it:
mx25/mx35/mx51 --version 1 ? mx53 --version 2?
Ok, fine. Version 1 should be the default value to be compatible with actual boards. Please document the changes in doc/README.imximage, too.
