Dear "Wolfgang Denk"

    OK, just two questions.

    All the boards I am using use the same link script, shall I copy
it to its specific directory? Do you really want this? It is not
better to do it like the MODE B (cp common_script to board dir)?

    I want to create two different targets: ml507 and ml507_flash.
Could you write an example of how to do this without writing the
TEXT_BASE in the Makefile? I did it in this way because I didn't found
any other method in the main Makefile

     Thank you very much for your help


         Regards
