[U-Boot-Users] Design question

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
I'm porting to a board that has a Xilinx SystemACE hanging off the local bus (CS#1) of a PPC405GPr. Looks fairly easy to write a driver that can be presented to the FAT filesystem support. This'll give me the ability to pick and choose the image I want to boot on the inserted CompactFlash card.
My question is a matter of integration. Should I create a new cmd_ace and some ace commands (a la cmd_ide for IDE drives) and plug that into the cmd_fat.c file the same way the other peripheral bus devices are handled? I think it makes sense, and that's what I'm going to do. Am I nuts? - -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."

No need to do that on such a list...

I don't think you are. On the other hand - maybe you can just plug this into the existing IDE framework?
