Dear Ulf,

I see. Maybe Atmel is helpful anyway? They should be interested in such activities...
Never used git, but I guess it is time to start.
Definitely.
Is it possible to run git on a Windows machine w Cygwin?
I have no idea. Never used Windoze, never will.
I'm not sure I want to have this. Is there a way to specify a time out? Couldn't / shouldn't this be implemented on CLI level, for example by repeating the failed TFTP command? If necessary using a hush script?
You may be right about that, then again, hush adds code ;-( as well.
...except that thjis code is already present and considered "standard" (i. e. bourne shell compatible).
I usually differ between things I have to do once and things I have to do repeatedly and the attempts are to put some effort in reducing the things that needs to be done repeatedly. The target directory would be supplied once and thats it. The split into "make & make install" causes you to lose time when you forget to do the make install
Define a shell function or a shell script or a Makefile which runs U-Boot's "make all" as a first target.
Yes, the source code is there, but the patch generates a binary as part of the build process and this binary is totally separated from the u-boot binary. It is released to GPL level 2 and later.
The reason I'm asking is that I don't intend to include any non-GPL code into the public U-Boot source tree.
If you work with several files and download them from the tftpboot directory then you want to have different names for the files.
Yes, of course, but do we need special commands for that?
It is not a special command, it is a tool outside the u.boot binary.
Call it command or tool or program or application or ...
I still fail to see how I can to a table lookup easily.
As I mentioned before: do it in two steps. In the first step, generate a statement with the index expanded, in the second step to the dereferencing.
I guess it would be possible with hush to do a long if statement.
Not needed.
setenv rd ${rd-${ver}}
We cannot do this in a single step, we need two.
Can you show how this is done, I do not see how. setenv rd-1 xxx setenv rd-2 yyy setenv ver 1
<magic> print rd $ xxx setenv ver 2 <magic> $ yyy
Please explain how to implement <magic>
Simple:
=> sete rd-1 xxx => sete rd-2 yyy => sete rd-3 zzz u> sete foo 'sete bar sete rd $\{rd-${ver}};run bar' => sete ver 1 => run foo ; print rd rd=xxx => sete ver 2 => run foo ; print rd rd=yyy => sete ver 3 => run foo ; print rd rd=zzz =>
You see, we don't even need any hush features.
Next problem, please :-)
I can see that the following is possible. setenv rd1 'setenv rd ${rd-1}' setenv rd2 'setenv rd ${rd-2}' setenv rd3 'setenv rd ${rd-3}' setenv rd4 'setenv rd ${rd-4}' setenv rd5 'setenv rd ${rd-5}' setenv rd6 'setenv rd ${rd-6}'
Yes, many things are possible. But this is probably not exactly optimal.
raw-at91 is a tool which automates console input, admittedly in a stupid way,and relies on minicom.
OK, then I will not accept it. I hate minicom, and I'm actively blackballing it ;-)
The advantage of minicom is that I do not have to type any filenames, since I can select the file using up/downarrow and space. and I do not have to generate any scripts,since I just type in the commands I want as is in a file and send it down without having to type the file name of the environment file which I have to do for "expect" and "kermit".
Come on. Kermit does file name completion, so the typing effort is minimal.
I sometimes, when travelling , use the IMAP server from a PC but still I think the only option is to request people to avoid sending the stuff to the IMAP server.
Please fix your mail setup. There are established standards, and you have little chance of redefining these.
Any important mails are better of sent to ulf@atmel.com
Then make sure this is used as From: and Return-path:
