Hi!
I know that mainline U-Boot SPL is quite far from working on socfpga... but would like to ask, what is the status of U-Boot proper. That should work on socfpga, right? Or are there some pieces missing?
I tried
commit 173d294b94cfec10063a5be40934d6d8fb7981ce Merge: 33b0f7b 870e0bd Author: Tom Rini trini@ti.com Date: Tue May 6 14:55:45 2014 -0400
Merge branch 'serial' of git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot-microblazeand it just dies with no output.
I'd really like to get something close to mainline working, so that I can generate patches etc.
The missing piece here is the SDRAM driver. This is a big piece as U-boot require the SDRAM to run. As of now, I am enhancing the existing SDRAM drivers to ensure its compliance with the coding standard.
But nevertheless, it poses another challenge when come to license. The driver is currently licensed under BSD-3 clause. Wonder can we upstream BSD-3 clause code? Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
