Dear York,

Incidentally, I have been trying to get a list of EOL boards from Freescale. Presume if I get the list, shall we drop the support for those boards right away or wait for some time, or keep them until we are tired of maintenance?
In general, EOL of a board at the vendor is of little meaning to the U-Boot community. As long as the boards are in use, and ther eis someone who is willing to take care of supporting it (even at the level of running tests) we do not drop a board.
Boards get dropped only if they become a burson, i. e. if they need fixing (or at least testing) and no active user / maintainer can be found any more.
If we would rrop boards as soon as the vendor declares them EOL, we'd have to spend a lof of work now on removal patches ;-)
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
