Dear Dirk Behme,
In message 48CFF803.3080105@googlemail.com you wrote:
Yes, from strict technical point of view you are correct. Cortex A8 is the 'CPU' and OMAP3 is the SoC.
But what do we win adding an additional directory layer cpu/arm_cortexa8/omap3? Let's assume we will see an additional Cortex-A8 core xxx in the future. Then we would have
a)
cpu/omap3/ cpu/xxx/
... which probably means code duplication.
*or*
b)
cpu/arm_cortexa8/omap3 cpu/arm_cortexa8/xxx
What's better?
Instead, we might probably have just a "cpu/arm_cortexa8/" with common code for "omap3" and "xxx" ?
If U-Boot maintainers want cpu/arm_cortexa8/xxx, I wonder if we could do this using git to move the files once the patches are applied? It
I think we shoud try and start without the xxx part.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
