@ -42,3 +42,4 @@ So now, two routes exist for us and I will lay out advantages and disadvantages
1. The firmware on the QSPI flash is not "prod ready". This obviously means that the user needs to be informed that their board firmware needs to be flashed. **IF DONE INCORRECTLY THE BOARD MAY BECOME A BRICK!** ("Prod ready" means any distro can depend on it to base their image off of.)
2. We need the user to have access to the Serial console to issue some uboot related commands that enable a boot order of 'sd emmc nvme pxe dhcp'. Not everyone has a USB-to-TTL cable though.
3. Adding features like GPU support (in the kernel), PCIe support (in u-boot), etc will be slower because, well, we are relying on upstream, not the vendor.
4. New firmware versions should be delivered somehow. If going the generic image route, it needs to be done, preferably, using the `fwupd` mechanism. If the SBC-specific route is taken, we need to `dd` partitions 1 and 2.
