It is for the bootloader, not Linux. barebox will use this, etc. I
think there are also plans for linux to use this. Not sure how far it
has got.

So could you add the EEPROM, and a comment about the mPCIe slot?

Dio you need this then? Is it in the dtsi file?

I'm guessing the user guide is only available under NDA? Where as you
can get the hardware without an NDA. At least i have a 370-rd, but no
NDA. So some minimal documentation would be nice. Especially since it
is backwards around to what most people would expect.

O.K, thanks for the explanation.
