[U-Boot-Users] Port for M5329EVB ColdFire MCF5329 eval board - needs network!

[Robert S. Grimes]

Hi all,

I've been working on a port for the Freescale/LogicPD eval board with 
the ColdFire MCF5329 microcontroller.  I've got it up and running from 
flash and all.  No network yet - and I'm not sure how to proceed there.  
It seems from an example or two that U-Boot network drivers are usually 
fairly simple.  Is it true that a simple polled driver is sufficient?

I'd like to get Ethernet working, but I have more pressing concerns 
right now, so I can't really spend a lot of time on it. However, I'd be 
interested in working with others, and certainly would welcome a bit 
more guidance; I haven't really found much in the way of an "Ethernet 
Driver How-To", and I've looked.  Of course, I could have missed it...

On a different topic, I would like to submit my BSP.  I don't know how 
interested people would be, given its current state - no Ethernet, and 
frankly, not extensively tested.  I will be using it over the next few 
months, so I'd expect these to improve, but it's probably not really 
ready for formal inclusion.  What does one do in such situations?  What 
is the process for new BSPs, especially incomplete "beta" versions?

Thanks for your time,
-Bob
