[Buildroot] [git commit master] u-boot: mark old 2008.10 version as deprecated

[Thiago A. Corrêa]

Hi,

   Someone should test if newer u-boot works properly before doing
that. This was the last known version to work with AVR32, and if I
remember it correctly, the problem wasn't platform specific but
something to do with the flash drivers or something. Sorry, can't be
more specific, I have a very short memory.

Kind Regards,
   Thiago A. Correa

You're right, AVR32 triggered something in the generic flash stuff.

And it is still not fixed...

U-Boot> saveenv
Saving Environment to Flash...
Error: start and/or end address not on sector boundary

I'll need to prod around for that.

Is this With 2009.06 or git?

So noone has used u-boot on avr32 with flash since ~1 year? Strange.

Ok, thanks for the heads up.

None has used U-Boot + AVR32 + CFI driver.

There is a discussion about the CFI driver on the U-Boot mailing list,
no final conclusion yet.

I am, but I'm using your tripple revert patch + my own changes to the
NGW100 code to support my own board with AT49BV640D.

I don't have any avr32 hw, so I cannot do it - What about you?

Notice that we're carrying an avr32 patch for 2009.01, so I guess it
works for someone.

Yes, all boards not using the common CFI driver will work, as they
provide their own flash driver. There is currently a discussion ongoing
on the u-boot mailing list regarding this topic. No conclusion yet, but
if a fix pops in for 2009.08 I'll let this list know. The it'll be safe
to use 2009.08 for all AVR32 boards (and probably all other archs as
well).
