    > The two are not incompatible.

    They are, for everything but one detail:

    "Linux kernel expects certain information on the hardware that it runs on. For kernels compiled with fdt support, this information has the form of a device tree, which is based on the Open Firmware specification. Bootloaders like U-Boot that do not implement the Open Firmware API, are expected to pass to the kernel a binary form of the flattened device tree, commonly referred to as FDT blob"

    > Open firmware implementations often rely on software like uboot.

    Can you give examples of that?

    > I'd want to work with whatever Acube is comfortable with.

    And ACube works with whatever NXP uses, which happens to be U-Boot :-)
