Re: [U-Boot] [ANNOUNCE] Kconfig support

Dear Mike,

I've upload on the u-boot-arm tree in kconfig branch some patch on which I work to all us to use Kconfig

i thought this was one of the points of u-boot-2 ?

u-boot-v2 is an interesting approach in several aspects, but since it was made publicly visible nearly two years ago it did not collect much of a community around it. From my (strictly personal) point of view, one show stopper is that there is no migration path - if you want to go u-boot-v2, you have to throw away all what is in mainline. And there is a lot of things that are not available in v2.

So it does make perfect sense to me to add features like Kconfig support to mainline.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
