Hi Wolfgang,
I just noticed Ulf claiming that we (Atmel Norway) have submitted patches for AVR32 support. That is not correct as far as I know, and I'm the one sitting on the patches. So you can probably stop looking ;)
No, I have been told by someone else in Norway it happend, and this guys was obviously misinformed I wanted to check if it was true (Notice the "is this correct" question).
We do intend to do so, though, so the other claim that we're "ignoring the main U-boot tree" is not correct either. It's just that we've stuck to point releases so far.
More the AT91 group than you...
Now that blackfin has "stolen" our architecture number, I guess it's time to get moving. Changing the architecture ID will probably break a lot of setups, but I guess it's better to do a clean break now, handle the additional support requests, and be done with it.
I'll start folding and rebasing the patches against the master branch next week, so I'll probably have some patches ready for you in a few days. What's the best way to split them up? Separate patches for everything? Maybe I should combine the arch patch with support for one CPU and one board so that it's possible to actually build the result? I'll submit the drivers separately anyway.
Ulf, I appreciate your efforts getting AVR32 support into u-boot. The "drivers/atmel" thing looks interesting -- have you consolidated any of the drivers yet?
I have put the AT91 memory drivers * at45.c->at45dbxxx.c * flash.c->at49bvxxx.c * nand.c and the dm9161a.c but since Wolfgang does not like the idea of distributing things, I'm in between chairs at the moment. I can send you the source files and then you can include them in your patch. I guess it does not hurt having source available before use. You may want to update the files, because today they configure based on different AT91 chips. Maybe a CONFIGURE_ATMEL ??
Probably, it is a good idea to put most of the Atmel Rousset peripheral drivers in an "board/atmel/common" directory as well.
