Dear Jason Liu,

Not change the mx51evk file. The code should take VERSION=1 as default, and we do not need to change the actual boards.
Do you mean that if can't find the VERSION command in the cfg file, it will be treated as V1, right?
No. You must not rely on variable setting from the config file. You must be able to recognize existing images by reading their headers without access to any specific board config.
Agree, but I think Jason is speaking here about the generation of the imx image and not its detection. To make things clearer:
- to check the validity of an imximage file, mkimage must rely only on the header, without any supplied configuration file, if any.
- to generate the imximage, I agree for compatibility reasons that the default version should be V1. In other words, if the version is not supplied in the file, the image is generated for an MX35/MX51 processor.
Best regards, Stefano Babic
