[U-Boot-Users] u-boot and uClinux

[Curt Brune]

Has anyone used u-boot with uClinux?  I am wondering about using
u-boot with a MMU-less ARM7TDMI based SoC.  Has anyone used u-boot
with a MMU-less processor?

Having read the README I know u-boot offers a lot functionality when
booting linux.  I don't care so much about tight integration with
linux, but I am _very_ interested in the nice features of the u-boot
monitor.

Does the u-boot monitor dependend on an MMU?

Thanks for all the input.

Cheers,
Curt

Hi All

Iam in process of porting u-boot to BF533. Is there 
already a port available for BF533 ?.

thanx in advance

We actually use u-boot on Netsilicons NET+50 based boards
(board/modnet50). The NET+50 is an ARM7TDMI CPU without MMU. Booting
uClinux works just fine.

Take a look at the ARM720t CPU directory. All modifications needed
to run u-boot on the NET+50 have been done by ifdefs (CONFIG_NETARM).

Yes, of course.

The fact that U-Boot is linux-friendy does not mean that Linux is all
it supports.

Not at all. If you had checked the  list  of  supported  systems  you
should  have  seen that there are a lot of MMU-less AREM, PowerPC and
MIPS systems which are supported by U-Boot.

None that I know of.
