Re: [U-Boot-Users] Proposal for a make option to include an additional stand alone program directory

U-Boot Users:

I want to add a featue to the makefile configuration so that a user can compile u-boot including a directory that gets compiled as a stand alone program. I propose that users can enter a directory when configuring the board, for example

make BOARD_config SA=my_stand_alone_prog_dir

I like this idea, but can't you already do this in the Makefile, but just adding stuff to the rule for BOARD_config?

For the MPC8349E-mITX, Freescale's BSP ships with a closed-source binary firmware for the 5-port Ethernet switch. It would be great if the denx.de version of U-Boot could automatically add support for this binary if it existed in the development tree. The idea would be that u-boot.bin would include this binary.
