Hi,

I'm looking for a solution to support multiple boards with just one barebox
image. The few core components that are relevant for barebox are the same on
all boards, so that the same barebox image runs on all boards. It is
possible to dynamically detect the board type inside barebox, but as this
requires some infrastructure it is not possible during lowlevel init.

The skov-imx6 boards was in a similar situation - here the solution was
to add enough infrastructure to lowlevel to be able to determine the
board variant.

Not what you asked for but maybe duplicating the minimal set of
infrastructure allows you to determine the board type anyway in lowlevel?

Thank you for pointing out this interesting example.
Since in this case things like I2C devices are needed for board detection, I think putting them in lowlevel init is not a good idea.

Thanks
