We have a board based on smdk2416 and we received from the kit
manufacturer, from which we based our own board a custom u-boot, which contains support for the following SMDK boards:
This is obviously one of the many out-of-tree ports that exist.
We are only interested in 2416 atm, but since we use Buildroot, it
would make our lives a lot easier if this was upstream instead of this .tar.bz2 file.
Indeed.
How would we proceed to add at least 2416 support to upstream? Can
I just update it to HEAD? Should I rewrite it entierly?
You can extract the patches that refer to your hardware only and submit these as patches against the current top of tree; for details please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches
You better be prepared that some clean up and other rework will be needed.
Best regards,
