I've been working with a SABRESD board as a prep for some custom hardware that will
have similar base IO (memory, ethernet, console, etc...). One difference is that the custom
hardware will be an iMX6D rather than a Quad-core. For bringing up u-boot/linux I'm
assuming there's not much difference; does anyone have any real experience with this?
Hi,
on mainline, you can even run the same unmodified kernel on MX6Q and MX6D. When you use Barebox as a bootloader, it is pretty easy to abstract differences on runtime, because Barebox nowadays sets itself up from oftree.

More good news, thanks.
Not familiar with barebox.
Hello Ed,
It is not a big deal to move from a Quad Core to a Dual Core, they use the same modules. In fact, you can disable 2 cores from the Quad Core to emulate the Dual core, you just need to edit the "NUM_CORES" fuse.
That's what I was hoping.
Thanks much for responding...
Ed
