This is very sensible advice.
AFAIK, it is only the U-boot.bin file you need to replace.
Unfortunately, I don't have an original non-xM edition to test with,
so cannot say for definate, but I don't see why they would break
compatibility with older boards with the newer U-boot.bin
We also have the hardware CMOS widgets available now as well, and like
ARMini customers, BBSS members are entitled to the low price. Again,
the problem is whether non-xM boards had the appropriate pins on their
JTAG connector, so I'd recommend checking your hardware reference PDF.
