Hi all,
There is several new stuff in the V2 tree, so here is an overview about
whats changed:
- Cleaned up the tree. Most board supports and currently not supported
architectures and drivers have been removed. Of course it can go back
in once it is working again. This step seemed necessary to see what's
currently expected to be working and what's not.
- Blackfin support. Currently tested with a BF561, other Blackfins will
need some adjustments.
- Module support. The module support is mainly the same as in the Linux
kernel. It is possible to add new commands and drivers via modules so
people can extend U-Boot without changing the whole loader. Symbols
are exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL, just like in the kernel.
- Many bugs fixed (probably by introducing new ones ;)
- The environment now can not only handle files but also directories.
- A default environment can be compiled in. Similar to U-Boot v1 it is
used when the environment sector is corrupted.
As usual the tree can be cloned / pulled here:
git clone git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot-v2.git
