[U-Boot-Users] JS28F256P33 intel flash. Can we use u-boot as bootloader?

Hi all,
we are developing a board with MPC875 and JS28F256P33 as flash. I wonder if it is possible to use u-boot-1.2.0 or if we have to resort to another boot loader. This is a CFI flash and thus no modification should be needed on u-boot. Is it true?
Bye, Melinda.

Yes, of course you can use U-Boot.

No, that's awfully naïve. You *always* have to port U-Boot to new hardware. Always.

Yes but I meant that no patch is needed for the flash driver. Is it true?
I only have to write some defines in include/configs/MYBOARD.h

That much is true.

Yes, or some more. Plus all of your board directory code.
And then you have to get it running.
