Hi,
The board I am working on, is based on the Freescale sabrelite board, the manufacturer provides support for it, as an about 1000 lines patch that applies to rel_imx_3.0.35_4.1.0 (3.0.35_4.1.0 is the kernel version I am using)
Are you referring to **another** manufacturer?
We have support for SABRE Lite in main-line and are actively maintaining it.
As that freescale version is too old for me (that is, it does not have support for USB or splashscreen), I would like to use the latest version of mainline u-boot.
You should start by using a board file based on Nitrogen6x (which contains support for both Nitrogen6x and SABRE Lite by looking at one pin: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=board/boundary/nitrogen6x/nitrogen...
I am a little puzzled, when I see that sabrelite support has been removed from main, it seems to have been replaced by the nitrogen board, so my manufacturer patch -badly- applies, especially due to the disparition of flash_header.S ...
The differences are minor and explained in more detail here: http://boundarydevices.com/differences-sabre-lite-nitrogen6x
I quickly found out that attempting a git rebase of rel_imx_3.0.35_4.1.0 to master was a bad idea, too.
So what would be the easiest and time less costing option to achieve what I want to do ?
I'd recommend starting with main-line Nitrogen6x code base, and update as needed for your particulars.

Eric
