<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm totally new to embedded linux/uboot,
but I've been doing embedded work for going on 12 years so I'm not a total
putz. We're working on early stages of design and I've been asked
a couple of questions that I can't really answer. I don't need to
know HOW to do these just yet (can figure that out later), I just need
to know if it's possible to do. And before you ask I am RTFMing,
I just don't have a lot of time to come up with answers to these questions
and they're not jumping out of the FM at me. So:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1) Will u-boot support a compact flash
device on the local bus of an MPC8347 (we would like to get u-boot from
a small I2C EEPROM and everything else including the kernel from a large
compact flash device)?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2) Is it possible to connect to u-boot's
"console" from an enet port or can it only be accessed from a
serial port? If it can, I presume it can then be used to load new
versions of u-boot just like the serial port? (The reason for this
is there may not be a serial port available in the final design for the
customer to use for field upgrades and we're concerned about being able
to upgrade u-boot if we need to ship a fix for it in the future.)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks in advance.</font>
