[U-Boot-Users] [patch] MicroBlaze port of U-Boot

[Yasushi SHOJI]

Hello all,

Here is a patch against the current CVS for microblaze port of
u-boot. I does nothing but boot itself, but this can be a start.

Suggestions, thoughts, and comments are welcome, of course.

best regards,

Looks nice - two hints/annotations:

1.) You should avoid the serial_init() & main_loop() calls inside your 
board_init() function. I think it's an unclean U-Boot coding style. The right 
place would be in lib_microblaze/board.c functions board_init_[rf]() or 
board_init() for targets without Flash/RAM abstraction (like Nios).
Why do you do so?

2.) As far as I can remember the Microblaze CPU is the Soft CPU by Xilinx 
like Nios by Altera. So the core will be very very flexible and have to be 
configurable. Have a look at the differen Nios targets and let you inspire to 
map your specific CPU configuration into the U-Boot configuration managment.



Best regards,

That's my mistake.  Thank you for pointing out.

I've had noticed that NIOS support is there but I'm still tring to
grasp what is needed and how it works.

I'll dig into the list archive and read some more documents.

# pointers are always welcome ;)

anyway, here is the incremental patch to move board_init() to
lib_microblaze/board.c.

Thanks, appied.

Please don't forget to provide a CHANGELOG entry for your patches.

Also I have modified to include MicroBlaze in README.  The reason why
it's a big change is that the string "lib_microblaze" is too long to
fit old indentation.  no contents changed.

Added, thanks a lot!!

I omitted the linux/linkage.h header file as  I  think  this  is  not
necessary - please check, though.

Also, please provide an additional  patch  to  add  yourself  to  the
CREDITS and MAINTAINERS files.
