[U-Boot] KAMIO board

[Frédéric SOSSON]

Hello,

I got a KAMIO-1251 board equipped with a MIPS AU1250 CPU.  I would
like to build U-BOOT for that board, is it possible?

regards,

It is possible, but in mainline U-Boot the board is not (yet)
supported.  So in order to build U-Boot you would need to do a port to
the board first....

Also it seems like this would be the first U-Boot port to the au1250, as
I only see au1000,au1100,au1500 and au1550 boards in U-Boot (check
MAKEALL in the top directory).

Best wishes
  Detlev

Thanks for you answer.  How could I do a port to that board?

Hello Fr?d?ric,

Look into the README, search for "Ports to New Hardware".  Ready the
schematics for the board, datasheets of the vital components on it (SoC
and RAM come to mind), warm up your editor and JTAG debugger and start
hacking :)

Seriously, a word of warning - this is a non-trivial operation requiring
very good knowledge of your hardware.  If this cannot stop you, be sure
to post your modifications early and often :)

Cheers
  Detlev
