Re: [U-Boot-Users] fixup section problem.

Hi Grant, My intention is not to submit the patch. It could add some noise in all the U-Boot architectures without add any new functionality or improvement. Furthermore, my impression is that Wolfgang was not very interested in this patch so I gave up this work. Anyway, I can submit the patch to you out of the U-Boot-users list.

Txema, How's your work on this patch coming along? I've got the same problem with new code that I've written for the Xilinx virtex boards. I don't want to do the manual relocation hack, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing your fix. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc. P.Eng.

[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] tools/setlocalversion test for git and .git directory before running commands
by Andrew Dyer 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

This patch adds commands to tools/setlocalversion to test for a git executable and for a .git directory before running 'git name-rev'. If it finds this condition it will return the string '-unknown' to the calling program. Running git without a .git directory causes a the build to hang in the make version step with the git program stopped like so $ ps -x | grep git 13750 pts/1 S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/git rev-parse --verify HEAD Our particular reason for not having a .git directory is that we use CVS as our standard internal source control. (Machine gets admin'd by someone and backed up nightly), so we have a git pull that we periodically import into CVS as a vendor branch. I think this patch would still be useful for vendors who distribute their source tree to end users who may or may not have git (and those who make tar files and forget hidden directories ;-) Signed-off-by: Andrew Dyer <amdyer(a)gmail.com> -- Hardware, n.: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.

Rodolfo, I am currently working on a PXA270 custom board, I derived this customization from my previous u-boot-1.1.4-mainstone patch. ftp://ftp.koansoftware.com/public/linux/u-boot/u-boot-1.1.4-cvs-mainstone.p… I'd like to get LCD and LOGO support feature when will be available, please inform me.

[U-Boot-Users] AT91 Dataflash support.
by Ulf Samuelsson 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

The plan to remove the memory mapping of dataflash will likely change the environment handling. The environment is currently inside the dataflash on most AT91 boards. Also don't forget that code for parallel flash is not wanted in dataflash only designs and should be consistently ifdef'ed away in all memory commands. Best Regards, Ulf Samuelsson
