Even if the external memory is the same, you need 2 different DRAM setups. Quad and DualLite differ in IOMUX setup and maximum DRAM frequency, the QuadPlus needs additional setup for the NoC. > In fact, the Nitrogen6x boards, differs from the #include of the ddr > controller (one is for dual-lite, the other for quad). For the Nitrogen boards we just build multiple images for different SoC/DRAM configurations. This is the easiest and most reliable way of dealing with this issue. > > But I do not found any switch between choosing one Soc or another. > Where is done the startup entry? If you want a single binary, you need build a 2 stage barebox. First stage needs to be loaded into SRAM, then you can look at which board you are running and do the specific DRAM setup. Then you can load the bigger 2nd stage into DRAM, where you again need to look at the board you are running at and select the correct devicetree for barebox to use. > And the maximum clock speed???

Clock speeds are defined by the CPU OPPs in the devicetree and the fuse settings of the SoC.
