Dear Peter Tyser,
In message 1260988086.11634.3576.camel@localhost.localdomain you wrote:
I see. It'd be nice to put some of the above information in the U-Boot commit logs to give people an idea about what's going on without having to use google, etc.
...and even better in some doc/README.??? so it is part of the source code.
I haven't looked at the code differences between the sp3xx boards, but you might be able to use 1 common board file/header file to support them all. For example, take a look at the M5475AFE_config rule in U-Boot's ./Makefile. Some extra code in the Makefile and some #ifdefs in the sp3xx code might accommodate all 3 boards.
Extra code in the Makefile should not be needed any more.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Zero is an enigmatic value. It can mean success (fclose) or failure
(scanf). It can mean black or white. It can mean no permissions
(chmod) or all permissions (umask). It can mean now (setjmp) or later
(atexit). It can mean the beginning (lseek) or the end (read). It can
mean myself (getpgrp) or child (fork). It can mean all (kill's 1st
argument) or nothing (kill's 2nd argument). It can mean `default'
(SIG_IGN) or `I don't care' (waitpid) or `try to guess' (strtol).
Indeed 0 lets you talk to God (setuid).
Verily is 0 all things to all people.
