[U-Boot-Users] Adding a new board to the u-boot project
I'm developing a board based on the MPC8313 and want to have my code included in the u-boot project, but have a few questions.
I have created in u-boot-1.3.2 my own folder in the board directory and all appropriate config files. I have also edited the Makefile on the top level.
Everything builds for my board's u-boot, but here are my questions. I have to create a new folder in the nand_spl/board folder as my board supports NAND flash. Is that ok? Also, to add NAND support I have to edit the cpu/mpc83xx/start.S file. Is this allowed?
After I get my code working is there a specific person that I forward the patches to?

sounds good, you'll need to add a MAINTAINERS entry, a MAKEALL entry, and preferably add a doc/README.<myboard> file.

yes

depends on the bits themselves; please send your patch for review on this list.

the 83xx specific bits (including the general board support bits) should probably go through me, and Stefan Roese can pick up your NAND-specific bits, unless Wolfgang beats us to it.

...but in any case the patches have to be sent to the mailing list, too.
