[U-Boot-Users] MIPS port

[max y]

I am confused by all these MIPS families. I went to MIPS web site. 24K is part of 32 core. What do you eman MIPS32 compilant exactly?

you'll probably be a bit on your own. I don't think any of the
current mips ports are really close to a 24K. Watch the cache
handling/locking code in particular, as it is not very generic. We
use Au1550 which is MIPS32 compliant, so the db1550 port might be a
place to start.

One other common gotcha is u-boot requires the toolchain to use the
denx naming conventions - somewhere in the scripts and makefiles (I
forget the file) they use the name of the toolchain to check for
endianness, so mips_4KCel-gcc would work right, but mipsel-linux-gcc
would fail with an error that is not very clear :-(.
