[U-Boot-Users] Mips board support...

[Arun SR]

Hi,

I am trying to understand the mips support code in the uboot source code.
In the cpu/mips directory, there are references to incaip in the file name as
well as source. Isn't cpu directory supposed to be independent of the board?
If I wanted to add support to a new mips board how should I modify the 
cpu/mips directory?

Regards,
Arun.

Yes, it is supposed to. But not everything we do is perfect ;-)

As needed? Try to follow the design rules, and if you're running into
conflicts then feel free to ask...

Best regards,
