I started working on getting OMAP3 EVM support on u-boot GIT, but later realized that similar development was on going for Beagle. I thought of working with you guys for getting EVM support on Sakoman's u-boot GIT branch and then do the additional cleanup and help in getting EVM and Beagle support on u-boot V1 GIT tree.
This sounds really great! Yes, we really need some additional help for cleanup. Maybe you already know the short status I wrote some days ago about Sakoman's u-boot GIT branch:
http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/0f1991bbc9318fe0#
For the archives: Sakoman's u-boot GIT we talk about here can be found at
http://www.sakoman.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot-omap3.git;a=summary
As part of my work, I am here by presenting a set of three patches that add EVM support to Sakoman's u-boot, kindly review
I will do so, give me some days ![:wink: :wink:](https://forum.beagleboard.org/images/emoji/apple/wink.png?v=12)
To answer some more points from today's IRC:
- Additional board support, e.g. Pandora: Yes, this is welcome. While starting it will be some more work, but having e.g. three boards (e.g. Beagle, EVM and Pandora) will really help us to identify common code and let us optimize for future boards.
- Compiler: Yes, CSL 2008Q1 results in uboot I2C timeouts. So use 007Q3/Q1 for uboot. I observed this, too.
Mani and Khasim: At IRC it sounds like you are looking into this. If you have an idea, please let us know.
the same and if no issues found I would request Sakoman to merge this onto his branch. Will continue my development on this branch further
Many thanks for your patches
