We have a little bit hacky barebox port for the CUPID (to be shown at
the electronica in Munich, starting tomorrow), and we would surely be
interested in some sponsoring to get the port mainlined. Please contact
sales@pengutronix.de if you are interested.

Btw, the MX35 is really, really fast. It boots into Linux in less than a
second, so that we currently are able to show a splash screen directly
from Linux userland.
