Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?

Welcome aboard.

I work at Freescale and in my free time I would like to port uboot to some ARM and PPC board of the Freescale's Tower System.

If you want, you can just look around which boards / architectures are already supported in mainline U-Boot (and/or read the mailing list archives, or ask) which features are still missing); then check what is available as out-of-tree code in Freescale's LTIB and other distributions. Then start to adapt this out-of-tree code to current versions of U-Boot, and push the patches mainline.

This is a task where you don't have to start at the lowest levels, and you can build up your experience gradually as you go.

Good luck!

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
