Hi Fabio,

Troy's been working diligently to push Solo support, but it's taking
a while to work through the bits. The first attempt, which allowed a
single binary to be used on Solo->Quad required the use of i.MX
plugins and was more or less rejected with pushback to use SPL instead.

We have some Solo boards out in the field using plugins from this branch:
	https://github.com/boundarydevices/u-boot-imx6/tree/solo-dl-staging

Based on the feedback, our plan was (is) to create separate board
file for the processor variants, but don't want to duplicate everything,
so we planned on these steps:

	- Add preprocessor support to imximage.

	This is stalled at the moment, waiting for Stefano
	and Tom to resolve differences

	- Push nitrogen6q board file for Quad/Dual

	- Create a new board for nitrogen6s (Solo/Dual Lite)

We've been at the first stage for a while though.

Regards,


Eric
