[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] support for Intel IXP

[Kevin Liao]

Currently there is no more serial number needed to download Intel hardware access software. All you need is to finish some
registration forms. See the following page:

Another thing to note about the IXP support is that there is NO network
support due to license restrictions. Intel has chosen to release their CSR
libraries under a proprietary license. The CSR libraries provide the Access
Layer, which is a software interface for accessing the hardware ports. I'd
had heard rumors that Intel was going to release this code under GPL, but
that was months ago. So, for now IXP only supports the serial interface.
