If it is not already happening on the Neo900, I would like Nikolaus to please consider it.
The "principal design" of Neo900 is under my responsibility, Nikolaus is helping a lot and doing the hard lifting. Please see last post of mine and the link in there to the project's bugtracker, for details how we gonna handle SYS_BOOT[5:0] and rationale why we do it this way and not the way it's done in pandora. Emphasis of Neo900 is on security and privacy, not on gaming and development.
