Good.

As long as the sdcard.img is working, that's fine.

However, I'm still unsure we will want to merge a defconfig whose only
difference compared to the other beablebone defconfig is that it uses
Barebox. I certainly want to merge the rest of your series, since we do
want to support the use case of people using Barebox on AM335x
platforms, or other platforms that have a two-stage boot process. But
I'm not sure about the defconfig.

Peter, what's your opinion on this?

Best regards,

Thomas
