Hi,
It looks like these have no maintainer and have not been converted to generic board. Should we remove the 'sh' architecture?
Regards, Simon
The maintainer, Nobuhiro, was at the U-Boot mini summit, but, indeed, no work for SH these days.
Since he left Renesas and went back to Hitachi, he is now a complete volunteer, I guess.
If the maintainer responsibility is painful for him, he can take a step back, but I hope he can continue contribution... Nobuhiro?
I'd hate to see SH2 leave since it's becoming the J-Core architecture.. Perhaps someone in the community would like to help out too?
Agree. Jeff talked about that at Dublin.
I haven't seen any activity. Does anyone have an update?
Hi Simon,
Yes - there is definitely activity. Jeff and Rob presented again at ELC, San Diego, and gave out dev-boards (I have one) - and they are starting a kick-starter project to get a RasperryPi form factor board out with an FPGA to run the cores / development.
There is a working kernel and toolchain. I'd certainly hope U-Boot support could be used in the future too.
http://j-core.org/roadmap.html is probably the most up-to-date plan there is currently.
The current dev-board (a Numato FPGA) doesn't have USB or Ethernet, but does have an SD Card, Perhaps uboot doesn't give much added value there currently- but when the Kickstarter board comes out (there are 10 prototypes in existence already) that will have both USB and Eth - so U-Boot will have much more appeal!
