Solution for existing SoCs is usually adding 1MB of SPI flash during design phase of device and store boot loader(s) there. But it is so expensive someone would say when it is in 10-30 cents range...
Even 96boards CE specification totally ignored that fact while it could be a way of showing how to make popular board. Instead it became yet-another-board-to-laugh (EE spec did not improve much).
Is there a way to get it improved? At least for new designs?
Yes! I've added this suggestion to a list of suggestions for evolution of the 96boards spec.
We already went round the houses repeatedly on that one :(
Yes, but it wasn't in the list. So if we want to reject something (or make it optional), I'd like us to document why we reached that decision for posterity.
As Grant mentioned elsewhere, the single-storage device configuration seems to be where a lot of the vendors seem to be focusing on.
