[U-Boot] Enabling POST for canyonlands board

[Afzal Nadirshah]

Hi Stefan,
     Thanks for the reply. I looked into the file that you mentioned and also the README as well as the POST directory.
      I could not go into the details very minutely. From this I have understood that
1. Support for POST for canyonlands board is present.
2. To enable POST for canyonlands board, I only have to define the required macros.
3. I do not have to add / modify code to test the peripherals on the canyonlands board.

Could you please let me know if I have understood it correctly?
Thanks a lot. I am hard pressed for time and your suggestions are invaluable.

Regards,
Afzal Nadirshah

A quick look at the canyonlands config header shows that it's not enabled.

Yes. I suggest you take a look at the kilauea.h header. Here POST is enabled
by default.

Some POST tests are run always after poweron, and some (longer) tests are only
run under certain conditions. doc/README.POST should give you an overview
here.

Best regards,
Stefan
