    Facinating news! Does that mean I can now git clone the official uboot repo and compile it and it will just run on UDOO? Or are there any extra instructions I need to take before it can work? Or would you consider the upstream verison to be too unstable for real usage?

    Hi xkxx,
    yes, if you git clone the official uboot repo (imx branch) you will be able to compile a reliable u-boot-2013 release for uDOO.

    At the bottom the full instruction.

    I advise you that because of the rules of release cycle of u-boot you will obtain a not full feature release of u-boot 2013 (for example you will not have hdmi boot splash at startup, and also a not customized u-boot environment).
    If you want that feature clone u-boot source from uDOO git.

    Cheers
    Giuseppe

    Here the instructions.

    export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- ### or whatever

    git clone http://git.denx.de/u-boot-imx.git
    cd u-boot-imx/
    make udoo_quad_config
    make

    dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=2 bs=512
