I'm just curious but why are there different system images for the dual and quad versions of the board on all firmwares? I would have thought the only real difference would be the kernel? Is there something special in the uboot/other firmware that requires multiple images like this? Bill
Hi Bill Basically the only difference is the u-boot, kernel is the same for both cpu (obviously Linux kernel is different from Androi kernel). U-boot is necessary to make basic initialization of main hardware like ram and so on. The settings for ram, for example, are different based to the cpu. Once finished the initialization phase the u-boot load the kernel and execute it by passing the machine type id informing the kernel which configuration board (quad or dl) use for boot. The kernel have inside both profiles and use them based to the infromation receibved by u-boot.
