Well, I'm hoping to start work on creating CPU support for the OR1200 as soon as possible, so maybe I can help fulfill that dream of yours Detlev. ;)
I'm new to the world of U-boot, so I'll probably be asking questions along the way.

Hi Wolfgang,
I have a project I'm working on that I think u-Boot would be perfect for. The core processor architecture is the OpenCores OR1200 RISC platform, however, and I see it doesn't appear to be part of the standard release of u-boot. My question is this--has anyone worked on getting the necessary software put together for u-Boot to support this particular processor architecture? It appeared to me that the only place it's mentioned on the Denx site is a brief example of the Custodian system.<br>
That's just a coincidence - we chose an non-existent (and from our point of view also somewhat unlikely) architecture for the example.
Actually, that's not quite true.
Having played with the or1k simulator a long time ago, I made myself believe in the subversive idea that mentioning it in our documentation could possibly lead some attention to it. I'd still love to see a system that can be studied at (practically speaking) every level of the design...
I did not dare dream of that actually coming true though ;)
Cheers Detlev
