[U-Boot] u-boot for ixp425
Hi to all,
I'd like to use u-boot lo load small applications program on a board based on IXP425. My customer has used redboot to load linux over this board and now He asked to me to write some applications to test the hardware. I tought to use u-boot because I have no knowledge on redboot and because I have already used u-boot over ixp425 few years ago. Moreover I knew that quite recently, some improvements have been made on u-boot to avoid the use of Intel APIs. Now I don't know if this activity has been completely carried out and allows the use of both eth interfaces which are provided by the uP. Can anybody suggest me where can I find some further info on the status of u-boot on ixp425?
Many thanks in advance

I have done some work on ixp465. I think that u-boot for ixp425 supports:
- initialization - ethernet ( if you include firmware ) - flash device. I have used cfi for the ixp465

We have u-boot running on a ixp425 board (pdnb3), without the intel stuff. The npe binaries are stored seperated in flash, and loaded by u-boot. All the code is now gplv2.
We tried to get these patches in u-boot, but they where not accepted.
Maybe you want to take a look at our patches.

It's already the case

Dear Martijn,

"Were not accepted" is not quite correct. The patches you sent did not apply to the source tree and were somehow corrupted; also you failed to respond to the review comments. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/28148/focus=28409 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/29027
Best regards,

I would like to, with the purpose of refitting them into u-boot in case you have no time to do so.
