Hi all, I have a Globalscale Dreamplug I wish to accomplish the following:
- Backup original uboot
- Verify original uboot
- Flash patched uboot to SPI
Any roadblocks? I couldn't confirm, either via this list or looking at commits whether Dreamplug support ever made it back into mainline uboot...
dreamplug patches have not been accepted into mainline because the proper way to do it (which globalscale didn't do in the binary they provided) is with a new machine id. This is already reserved [1]. U-boot shouldn't use the new mach-id until it is in mainline Linux. Linux won't accept new ARM boards unless they are moving towards device tree.
Is this something new?
You just need machine-id in mach-types.h to get in dreamplug patches mainlined into u-boot.
I have added earlier machine id through http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/?action=new
Doesn't this work now?
