I would therefore say that if you want EP88x re-introduced, then please step up as the new board maintainer by adding your e-mail address in boards.cfg -- and please do it only if you actually have an EP88x board to test on. If you don't have an EP88x, or do not plan to be a maintainer for it, and if no one else does either, then the best is to remove it entirely. > Best Regards > Masahiro Yamada Amicalement, -- Albert.
