Dear Curt Brune,

What I would love is to have a single multi-file uImage I could use on all my platforms. The idea is to introduce a new image type that is a list of device tree blobs.
In addition to the file system based approach suggested by Stephen, you should have a look into using FIT images (see doc/uImage.FIT/ ). One of the reasons for creating these was to deal with situations exactly as you describe...
I think that will work perfectly. Thank you for the suggestion.
Note also there is code in mainline now to select the correct FDT from a list of them in a FIT. based on the model name. Then it can pass this to the kernel. So if you have a way of getting the model name in U-Boot, it might just work.
Cheers, Curt
