[U-Boot] 85xx board maintainership / anyone care?
There are a few 85xx boards that I'm wondering if anyone cares about or is acting as a maintainer:
ATUM8548 (Robert Lazarski) MPC8540EVAL PM854 PM856 socrates (Sergei Poselenov) sbc8540 sbc8560 sbc8548 (Joe Hamman) stxgp3 (Dan Malek) stxssa (Dan Malek)
I'd like to remove support for any of these unmaintained or uncared for boards for post v2010.12.
thanks

I think the sbc8560 has a year or so left in it based on what I've seen around here, and the sbc8540 uses the same code base. These are definitely in maintenance-only mode, though.
sbc8548 (Joe Hamman)
This board is definitely still in quite active use, and I've got some patches for booting off the alternate DIMM flash to submit someday (once I get them actually working, that is).
Feel free to put me down as maintainer for the sbc85xx, and also for the sbc8641d (for consistency) if that helps.

Paul, thanks I'll keep the SBC85xx boards around. Are you ok being listed as maintainer for them?
I don't think Joe's around anymore as his email address bounced.

Yep, as per above.

Yeah, I saw that, so I went ahead and adopted the sbc8641d as well. The WR sbc p4080 will be the next to join the clan, once I get a better handle on DDR config/SPD magic and get it working on master.

I've probably got the best chance of getting access to these boards in order to test things, and since Joe's e-mail is bouncing, update the MAINTAINERS entry to reflect this.

Robert,
Do you guys still care about u-boot support on stxgp3 and stxssa boards?
[such that you have someone that will test and interact on the lists associated with them?]

No, as I don't have such hardware to do any testing.

I left the company (Instituto Atlantico or IA for short) that sponsored the project in 2008. I'm still subscribed to the u-boot list, and AFAIK there's been only silence from IA on the list concerning that board since then. I don't have the hardware to test the latest code. Therefore removing ATUM8548 is fine by me.

There might have been one of these relics kicking around somewhere, but I won't be able to check until I'm back in Ottawa on Wed.
If it is just a hardware/validation issue to offset the inevitable bitrot, and if I do actually have a working board, I could probably build test it.

Looks like these 3 boards don't have anyone speaking up for them so I intend to remove them.

Let me know if you have one. I'd like more than compile testing on the platform. We've been build testing it for years now. I'm more concerned if it actually boots and if anyone cares.

Yeah, I meant to say "boot" not "build". If I start requiring a physical board in order to just build test, I'll voluntarily surrender my keyboard.
I'll let you know tomorrow when I get back.

So are we keeping 8540EVAL? Let me know and I'll look at fixing the problem Paul pointed out with RAMBOOT.

I can test it actually boots (assuming I have the board). I'm not sure how to test for Kumar's 2nd question -- i.e. if anyone actually cares. :)
I'm not sure what the board specs are -- if it is hideously crippled in terms of tiny amount of RAM and an ancient CPU, then maybe the best thing is to shoot it in the head and be done with it. In which case, I can think of other suitable victims for cull, like the original EST8260 that had all of a whopping 16MB RAM, etc.
Does u-boot have an equivalent to feature-removal-schedule.txt like the kernel has? It might not be a bad idea to have something similar vs. having boards disappear with relatively short notice. Things like e-mail bounces and people on vacation might mean that someone who cares simply hadn't seen the notice yet.

It turns out the board I have is an MPC8540ADS and not the MPC8540EVAL -- close but not quite the same.
