Hello everybody:
U-Boot v2011.03-rc1 was released on Wed, 02 Feb 2011.
Release "v2011.03" is scheduled in 39 days - on March 13, 2011.
Please help testing, and check if all your relevant patches have been included.
Note that still a large number of ARM boards are broken. I hope many people join the efforts and fix all the currently broken boards. Thanks in advance to everybody who lends a helping hand.
What is the time frame?
I think I have IXP425 mostly in shape - my own boards work, and IXDP425 boots up and basically works. PCI is still a working area: I pulled out most of the old, IXP-specific code and changed the PCI code to use u-boot's PCI infrastructure.
This works fine for configuration, and I can dump and modify memory (eg. the bootrom on a E1000 card), but I can't get any of the ethernet drivers to work - possibly due to endian issues, but this might take some time to sort out.
Would it be OK to commit this as-is, knowing it may require some further fixups? At least it does work better than before.
Otherwise, I could leave out the whole PCI area and only provide patches for the boards without PCI, leaving IXP PCI in its current broken state.
