Re: [U-Boot-Users] [ARM] TI DaVinci support, 2nd attempt [0/5]
Sergey, You mentioned in a previous post that you had a serial boot utility you wrote to get away from the C# one that TI has... Did you write that in C? Could you share it with the list, since it would be most helpful to those of us who work with Davinci boards.
Thanks for all your efforts with this port of u-boot. It will be great to be able to move up to a clean, well written version. I look forward to the NAND support especially, since the stuff in the TI supplied u-boot is almost 3 years old...

It is partially in C and partially in Assembly. I would like to share it but it is quite messy right now, code requires a good cleanup. Unfortunately I don't have time right now, I'm extremely busy with bringing up prototype boards that just came in... We're very short in time so I have to get them up and running asap and give out a list of required changes and fixes for the final prototypes and then go into production...
So I will do it later, when that pressure is somehow lessened...
Another thing is I don't know where it belongs. Just posting it to the list will do little good, it must go into some repository or a product. I think it would be OK to add various bootloaders to the U-Boot tree so people would have all the means for bringing up their hardware from totally virgin state but that requires cooperation, willinness to add yet another tree to the U-Boot and decision on where it should go...

It is not just old, it is crappy and non-working :) And their I2C stuff is absolutely bogus...

It is crappy and broken... I was just being nice :) I'm tired of fighting problems that we would have never seen if we were using a somewhat more modern u-boot...
Thanks, Zach

Maybe you can consider to send it as it is to davinci-linux-open-source list, probably marked as 'experimental'? If you like, then people can test, use and help to improve it. You know this "release early, release often"? ;)
I could imagine to create a page in DaVinci wiki with howto use, list of shortcomings and things to fix, then.
Best regards
Dirk
