In U-Boot we just split in "cpu" and "board".
Which is no good idea. CPU is ARM920T and each and every board copies everything it needs from other boards.
Is there any activity to work on a "next generation u-boot" which avoids all the design glitches we currently have? It's nearly impossible to restructure things in a tree which is supposed to be production code. I think of things like config frontend, everybody-is-alowed-to-add-tons- of-trailing-whitespace-if-he-is-not-robert, layered drivers which hold their pointers to the hardware in structures instead of 1001 ifdefs etc.
