Greetings everyone - I am working on a port of U-Boot to a custom Xilinx Virtex2 Pro FPGA based board which uses the PPC405 inside the FPGA. The plan is to base the port on the existing ml300 port.
The nature of the design requires that the Xilinx System ACE compact flash card be the only nonvolatile memory on the board - no plain old FLASH memory or I2C EEPROM. Therefore, I would like to store the U-Boot environment as a file on the compact flash card.
I have checked the latest CVS sources and it appears that no one has implemented this yet.
Before I take a crack at it, is anyone planning to do this or in the process of doing it? Does anyone have any advice or caveats?
Thanks, Keith
