[U-Boot-Users] xilinx FPGA code

A couple of "IMHO" comments about this code in no particular order:
Is there any reason to have spartan2.c, virtex2.c and spartan3.c? They are pretty much copies of each other with search and replace.
local PRINTF should be replaced with the global 'debug' macro.
this issue behind this patch should be addressed (relocating null pointers) http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/22918
I believe the edict was given by wd@ that CFG_HZ was always to be 1000, and delays can be spec'd in units of ms rather than based off of CFG_HZ
could do with some whitespace cleanup & reformatting to 80 cols.

Hi Andrew,
you are right, the FPGA code definitely needs some cleanup.

ack.

ack.

I posted a couple of patches a few minutes before your posting arrived. My 2nd patch addressed this issue (please apologize that I forgot to enumerate them as PATCH x/5. I forgot git-format-patch's -n option and noticed that to late.)

Probably yes, but I am not sure if we might need sub-ms-timing.

There are some other coding style issues like braces for single statements.
I am willing to implement some of your/our ideas. But first I am awaiting my five patches to get it in :-)

Hi everyone.
I wanted to ask about the I.MX21 from freescale.
How would I load U-boot onto it, and if anyone has worked with it then if possible help me out here.

Which board are you using? Does it already have a boot loader on the board? If does not, then you can use the tools from Freescale to flash the boot loader image. These tools can be found at
