[U-Boot] Question about U-Boot porting based on ppc architecture
Hello:
I am developing a new board using MPC852T as main control unit. If I want to know which board U-Boot supported is familiar with my new board, what can I do? Did I need to Learn all the schematics of the board on which MPC852T is utilized? Oh, what a very huge and difficult work it is! So, who can tell me where the shortcut is? Thanks!

Yes, you need a really thorough, in-depth understanding of your hardware to perform such a task. If you additionally know some other board very well (including the schematics) then you might save some time by being able to copy parts of their configuration. Without such knowledge, it is usually more efficient to focus on your hardware and bring it up step by step.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
