Multiple SoCs support? #2

Open 185264646 opened 1 year ago

Currently the l-loader supports only hi3798cv200. Should we introduce a mechanism to support other SoCs? Compile like make TARGET=hi3798mv200

This depends on project roadmap.

Clearly 96boards has been abandoned by hisilicon, that means we are the only (potential) upstream. In my opinion we should focus on kernel rather than bootloader for the time being.

We still need a bootloader. Also a mainline bootloader is good for kernel debugging, we can manipulate bootargs and do network boot easier.
