Thanks for you answer. How could I do a port to that board?

Hi Frédéric,

...

I got a KAMIO-1251 board equipped with a MIPS AU1250 CPU.  I would like to build U-BOOT for that board, is it possible?

It is possible, but in mainline U-Boot the board is not (yet) supported.  So in order to build U-Boot you would need to do a port to the board first....

Also it seems like this would be the first U-Boot port to the au1250, as I only see au1000,au1100,au1500 and au1550 boards in U-Boot (check MAKEALL in the top directory).

Best wishes  Detlev

Hello Frédéric,

...

Thanks for you answer.  How could I do a port to that board?

Look into the README, search for "Ports to New Hardware".  Ready the schematics for the board, datasheets of the vital components on it (SoC and RAM come to mind), warm up your editor and JTAG debugger and start hacking :)

Seriously, a word of warning - this is a non-trivial operation requiring very good knowledge of your hardware.  If this cannot stop you, be sure to post your modifications early and often :)
