I've finished my port of U-boot 2008.10 to the LPC2468. I've based my port on code by Embedded Artists, which was based on U-boot 1.1.6. The LPC2468 is an ARM processor with build in peripherals, so I need to divide my code into LPC2468 generic part and a part for my board only (which is not to be published). I have however no clue on how to do
Not pubslishing your code would be a stupid thing to do. Are you aware how quickly out-of-mainline code rots? You are already two releases behind against current mainline, and a lot of changes have already been queued up in the "next" branch for the next release.
I fully understand. The problem is that there is a special Ethernet PHY on the board which is under a NDA, so I cannot publish code surrounding it. I can publish the general part of the ethernet driver.
Try to forward port your stuff to the "next" branch (you will have to do that to submit any patches), and then think again if it makes sense for you to maintain an out-of-tree port. It doesn't.
that. What code should belong where? Is there any documentation on the exact code structure of U-boot? Is anyone here interested in LPC2468 support and willing to offer some help?
Apply common sense. Then submit your patches. We will tell you if they fit. Note that so far there is no LPC2468 support in U-Boot mainline, so you must provide some complete working board port, or there would be code which cannot even be compiled, and we don't allow that.
I see, I will provide a working example.
