[U-Boot-Users] Request for pointers: EP8548A v1.1

[Jerry Van Baren]

Hi Andy, Embedded Planet,

I have some Embedded Planet/Freescale EP8548A v1.1 boards that I need to 
pull both u-boot and linux forward into the fdt era.  The LTIB-based 
delivery is ancient (1.1.4 hacked), I would like to get u-boot to the 
tip of git and linux somewhere close to the tip.  I'm assuming linux 
won't be difficult once I get u-boot pulled forward.

Apparently EP didn't submit their u-boot EP8548A board port back into 
the master repo (git.denx.de). :-(  I've done some googling for sources 
and repositories and came up pretty dry.  The git repos on 
<http://opensource.freescale.com/> are pretty old.  Like the main u-boot 
repo, the fsl u-boot one doesn't have the ep8548 board config.

I have the ltib u-boot source ("U-Boot 1.1.4 EKB-22022006"), but a 
fast-forward instead of a slow-forward would be nice to have.  Has 
anybody worked with the EP8548A to pull it forward into the Modern Era?

Thanks,
gvb

Hi Gerald,

I'm currently working with a EP8548A, having u-boot 1.3.3 running.
I'll ask my co-worker, who did the "port", for any patches.
