[U-Boot-Users] porting to new board: what to do next?

[Woodruff, Richard]

Well if your board has JTAG debug ability, you can step the entire
thing.  The start up code isn't really all that much.

There are many things which could be wrong.

What CPU are you using....what board is it close to...variations on a
theme tend to be quite easy to port and diagnose errors for... 

Regards,
Richard W.
