[U-Boot-Users] Big Files?
Wolfgang,
I have a display driver that I would like to add to the 8610HPCD board port. The driver itself is pretty small (about 30K of source), but there is a logo bitmap file that can be used to display on the display as well. That file alone is about 160K even though it is a smallish bitmap (340 x 128 x 4bpp).
How would you like to handle this situation?
I could post the basic driver, code, of course. Should I do that, and throw it all into the -mpc86xx custodian tree along with the bitmap file? Or would you prefer to see a URL to some HTTP: site with it? Or an encoded gzip file on list?
Thanks, jdl

340x128x4 = 174,080 bit = 21,760 byte = 21.25 KiB. Where is the other 138 KiB of data coming from?

Like any other patch...
[I have to admit that I am not really happy to have such big image data in the public repo, but I probably have to keep my mouth shut because I did not notice when Stefan Roese sneaked in much bigger bitmap file :-( ]

Submit the code as regular patch and the bit map file as part 2, gzipped.
Best regards,

Sounds good!
