[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Add first Netstal board HCU4

[Niklaus Giger]

Hi

We at Netstal Maschinen (http://www.netstal.com/) will probably use the
U-Boot in our next board, based on a PPC440EPx.

The reason we choose u-boot over a proprietary boot eprom are still the
same as described in my earlier e-mail from February 2005
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10996256 

Outside my activities at Netstal I had ported U-boot in 2005 to run on
our current board (based on a  PPC405GPr). I used it to get acquainted with
Linux and Xenomai and one board is currently used by Xenomais buildbot. I
would like to get this board into the U-Boot repository to have a solid base 
for our new board and to be able to test various features before getting hand 
onto our new board (somewhere in March/April).

As I am new to the U-Boot and Git, I am not sure, whether I got
everything right in my first  try to submit a patch. I did
a)  git clone rsync://source.denx.net/git/u-boot.git u-boot.git
b) Added my files, testing them, etc
c) edited .git/config with my personal info
d) git-commit --all --signoff -m "Add first Netstal board HCU4"
e) gz'ed the resulting 0001-Add-first-Netstal-board-HCU4.txt to
reduce the size from 52KB to 15 KB.
f) as between a) and c) passed various week I 
g) git pull 
As there were no conflicts, I rebuilded my target, tested again. Then I
called
h) ./MAKEALL
Most target run okay, but I have errors like
Configuring for p3mx board...
p3mx.c:48:18: error: p3mx.h: No such file or directory
p3mx.c:48:18: error: p3mx.h: No such file or directory
which I believe are unrelated to my changes.

I am unsatisfied that I had to add a flash.c to my board, but I have at
the moment no idea how a clean solution should look like. But I think in
the various flash.c there is a lot of duplicated code around.

As our board has ECC memory, I would like to submit in a second step a
patch to get ECC working on  PPC405.

Any suggestion on how to improve this patch are welcome.

Best regards

Niklaus Giger
