[U-Boot-Users] Submitting Patch at sourceforge fails

[Ulf Samuelsson]

I have some new patches for the AT91 and the AVR32.
Tried to submit them at sourceforge.net, but the submissions fails.
Tried 4 times...

Is it OK to post them at this list?
There are two tarballs - total size of ~360 kB.

Any comments on the patches are appreciated.

DESCRIPTION OF PATCHES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch should apply cleanly against 2006-08-12.
It is a two file submission.
Major additions:

AVR32 U.boot support.

The AVR32 patches were submitted before by the Design team in Trondheim 
but they fail against the latest source mostly due to conflicts with the blackfin.
I changed the patch so that it should be OK against 2006-08-12.

Support for new AT91 boards
  AT91SAM9260EK
  AT91SAM9261EK
  AT91SAM9263EK  (also supporta AT91SAM9262)

The AT91SAM9200DK support has been split into
  AT91RM9200DK
  AT91RM9200EK
  AT91RM9200DF  (machine type 1119)
     (generic AT91RM9200 running from dataflash)
  There are some differences in use of I/O pins
  Support for the MUX selecting MMC/SD or SPI
  Support for AT91RM9200EK LEDs in scripts

A new "drivers/atmel" directory has ´been created
  to allow files common to ARM and AVR32 to 
  reside in a single location, instead of duplicates
  in each board directory.

Added support for new Atmel flash memories
  0,13u parallel flash (AT49BVxxxD)
  0,13u dataflash (AT45DBxxxD)

  Changed dataflash partitions so that
  partions start and end on a page boundary.
  Now there are 6 partitions which have names.
  * "Bootstrap"
  * "U-Boot",
  * "<Unused>"
  * "Environment"
  * "OS"
  * "FS"
  The start address of the FS and OS partitions are 
  automatically set in the environment.

  If there are two dataflashes in the system
  they can have different partitions.
  Second dataflash has a single partition
  at the moment.

  Block Erase of dataflash

  Support for CRC check on dataflash depending on the "crc-check" environment variable.

  Support for comparing contents of dataflash with SDRAM

Ethinit command
  Waits until there is a valid link on network.
  Solves a problem when trying to tftp from slow booting PCs (Booting at the same time).
  "ethinit ; tftp 21000000 <myfile>" 
  will guarantee that the tftp occurs at the right time

Dynamic Machine-Ids
  setenv machid <value>
  if "machid" exists, U-boot will pass on this value instead of the precompiled value
  allowing the same u-boot to boot both Linux-2.4 and Linux-2.6

Install feature:
  Copies the resulting binary to /tftpboot

X-Modem tool
  sx-at91 (pinched from from www.at91.com forum)
  Reliable download tool to be used with minicom.
 
Script downloading tool
  raw-at91
  allows downloading a script using minicom.
  A little easier to use than autoscript
  Tool will download the environment file one line at a time and then wait a short while.

Default environment
  This allows a fast setup/reset of the environment by running the "defenv" command.
  It allows easier management of long filenames by automatically generating filenames / scripts
  from "partial environment"
  setenv linux xxx
  setenv kernel-date 2006-08-12
  setenv kernel-version 2.6.17
  os
  printenv linux
  $ uImage-linux-2.6.17-2006.08-12.gz
  
  "fs" will set the "rd" variable depending on the value of the "fstype", "ver" environment variables.
  "fstype" can be "ram" or "flash"
  Several default disks are provided ("rd-1","rd-2","rd-3",etc.) and
  the "ver" variable is be used to select between the disks 
  Will also set "bootcmd" and "bootargs" to nice values

  The user can define his environment in the board support file.

  This is my own work, and not an "official" Atmel release.
