Currently we do not have plans to add support for cdc ethernet, patches welcome ;) What we have if dfu support (device firmware upgrade) which can at least be used to flash images to the board. We also have regular USB networking support, so if you have a host interface you could use this. Adding cdc ethernet support should be doable since barebox uses the Linux Kernel gadget framework.
