[U-Boot] Patches for new at91 board / lowlevel_init.S
Hello,
I'm having patches for a new at91sam9261 based board in my queue I would like to publish for the current merge window.
However, this patch needs a way to supply its own lowlevel_init.S instead the at91 default.
A week ago I asked a question about that topic and there was a hint to look for the ronetix patches and a note that the next U-Boot release will contain a solution.
However, the mentioned ronetix patch followed a discussion about possible ways to address this topic but as far I can see, no solution was selected.
Additionally, in the current git tree there is still no solution for this topic, too (or I'm missing something).
So my question is:
How should I proceed? Should I post my solution? Or should I wait a couple of more days for an "official" solution?

I have a suggestion/question.
Would it be easy, hard, silly to add a CLONE command to the make file? (Are a separate make script?) So if someone wants to create a new board based on an existing board they could just type,
make CLONE at91sam6263ek_CONFIG myboard
or if it's script
./clone.sh at91sam6263ek_CONFIG myboard
The make file would clone the at91sam9263ek board configuration and put it in a new directory called myboard and update the makefile?

Dear Pink Boy,

Easy and silly. You cannot do such stuff automatically without doing stupid things like copying a lot of code that either is board specific or should be shared.
The make file would clone the at91sam9263ek board configuration and put it in a new directory called myboard and update the makefile?
And what would that save you? 2 minutes of work in a one man-week task?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

I'll apply a patch that allow this at the beginning of the week with 2 boards that use it.
I you search on the ML you will find the patch in question which is about the Ronetix PM9263
Best Regards, J.
