Otavio, I agree with you here.

We have common BSPs in meta-intel such as intel-corei7-64 and intel-core2-32. These are targeted for multiple platforms, but each platform need it's own configuration settings to make it fully useful. With this Image Configurator tool, one can select the target platform at boot time to get the Image completely configured for that platform. This ability signigicantly cuts down the number BSPs we need to maintain for various platforms. And same can be done with other architecture BSPs.

Thanks,
Nitin
