Hello everybody,
ARM has always been one of the architectures that generated a big number of different processors and SoCs, but recently the
activitiy in
this area is literally exploding. This is partially due to the fact that ARM is currently used in many designs, so many new ARM based processors and SoCs and even more new ARM boards show up,
but another
and at least as important change is that some silicon and board vendors have started to actively pushing their products into the U-Boot (and Linux) mainline source trees (and *welcome* they all are!).
It has become evident that this growing complexity has
become way too
massive to be shouldered by a single custodian, even a very
active one
like Jean-Christophe.
I think we have no other choice but to add more manpower to
this task,
i. e. split the ARM respository and distribute the workload across a few more custodians.
Unline with the Power architecture, where the split can be easily defined by processor lines, with ARM it seems more logical to me to differentiate by silicon vendors.
After much thinking I therefor suggest to implement the following change for the ARM architecture:
master ARM repository: Tom Rix
Atmel (AT91): Jean-Christophe Plagniol-Villard
Freescale (i.MX) Magnus Lilja? Or are there any volunteers
at Freescale?
Marvell (PXA + IXP): Jean-Christophe Plagniol-Villard
Marvell (all other): Prafulla Wadaskar
Hi Wolfgang/Jean Thanks for this responsibility. I acknowledge to accept this opportunity. I suggest to create u-boot-mrvl.git to manage all other Marvell support including current Kirkwood.
Thanks and regards.. Prafulla . .
Samsung (s3c, s5pc): Are there any volunteers at Samsung?
I recommended the Minky Kang. He's working for several years for u-boot from pxa, omap3, s3c6410 and s5pc1xx series.
But with our internal security policy it's hard to use ssh on u-boot git. so we want to use u-boot-arm as base.
Thank you, Kyungmin Park _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
