Given the fact that we don't have the needed npe files in the U-Boot source tree, and that nobodu can legally include this because of the licensing issues, should we not rather remove that code alltogether?
the FW files can not be include IIRC
Yes, this is what I understand, too.
You are changing the code for all these boards that don't even compile because files are missing to have new, updated boards that don't even compile because files are missing I ask.
I ask if it would not make more sense to remove all this code and drop support for these nun-working boards, especially since nobody cares to fix them.
I agree but I've not the time to merge the new linux drivers in u-boot and actually it's the only way to have the network in u-boot
I'll make an announce but as I already said before I'll not ack any new cpu or update of the NPE anyway. So if someone wish to add the IXP465, 435 or other we must use a new network driver no the current one
btw in the current IXP port we can have the firmware in flash and load from it
Best Regards, J.
