[U-Boot-Users] U-boot support for M5 Full System MIPS

[Mr. R]

I am interested in using u-boot as a boot-loader and console setup tool for
the simulator M5 while running the MIPS ISA. The M5 environment is able to
load the linux kernel (and any other application). This means that all
u-boot would need to do is setup any state that the linux kernel expects,
make necessary connections with the serial console for input/output, and
then jump into kernel entry. Which board would be a good choice as a
starting point for porting to M5 for the MIPS ISA? I am currently looking at
the incaip and attempting a port, but any help would be appreciated.
Questions that need answering are as follows:

1) A good board to start from for the MIPS ISA?

2) A location to find the state that the linux kernel expects for the MIPS
ISA.

3) Helpful information about the MIPS console (or perhaps consoles in
general).

Thanks.
