Hello Wolfgang, I would like to have your advice on how to handle Uboot code for 5 in-house boards called MxB1,MxB2,MxB3 and ExB1,ExB2. Common name XxB.
The boards feature the following functionality ;
o IPMI <--> PPC communication channel ( Serial ) Parts of the ATCA spec is followed. MAC address retrieval is e.g. done through IPMI.
o Dual Boot areas in FLash ( 32M ) with one Exchangeable area and one Fallback area.
o Log area in flash
o If both FLash areas are empty BOOTP will be used for Booting
o UPM Machine programmed for HDD PIO or DMA access through the PPC processor
o Password protected login at start-up. If a button is pressed by mistake the board will boot anyway , only a correct password will stop the boot sequence.
The boards are based on a PPC 8270 with 256M RAM and 32M FLash. They also have Broadcom 5690&5670/5671 Switch circuits.
Questions;
o Are you keen on taking in a new (Ericsson) board series?
o If so should I port the existing code to the latest Bootloader?
o How do you want the code delivered?
We have ofcourse prepared to ship the Source code to our customers.
Best Regards // Matias Sundman
