Hi Timothy,
I've tried fetching the source from anonymous CVS on sf.net and I always get to the point where it's fetching u-boot/tools/updater/utils.c, and the checkout hangs. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
The CVS service at SF hash serious problems for quite some time now. I haven't seen a hang at that stage, but that really says nothing at all. You can grab a recent version (17 Aug) from our ftp server though.
I'm interested in using u-boot for an Alchemy Au1100-based board. As I understand it, the Au1100 is based on an enhanced MIPS 3k core. Aside from toolchain issues, has anyone ported u-boot to a 3k core? I understand the major difference between the 4k and 3k is the pipeline depth, which would seem to be a tools issue.
I am not too familiar with the MIPS family but in the sources there is support for one MIPS 4k based board and for one MIPS 5k board, so you can probably claim new ground here...
Cheers Detlev
