On this version it was only tested on the ti BeagleBone Black board. I first
wanted acknowledgment of the current design development.
For the v2 I will test more thoroughly the sunxi DIP scan and the sandboard
scan. The only board I don't have is the imx8mm-cl-iot-gate so I hope someone
could test this one on his side. I also can't test the efi bootmeth changes.
