[U-Boot] Adding new architecture (nds32) support to u-boot

[U-Boot] Adding new architecture (nds32) support to u-boot

[macpaul at andestech.com]

Hi Wolfgang,

 

I?m working for Andestech, which is a RISC IP (NDS32) company in Taiwan.

This company has been started for 5 years.

In recent , we are planning to release source code such as Linux Kernel and GNU toolchain back to communities.

We also plan to commit code to u-boot.

 

I?ve read some materials on u-boot wiki.

It seems other architectures will maintain their own u-boot git, and you will merge their code into your mainline trunk.

If we want to init a new u-boot git repository for our architecture, should we just follow the instructions wrote in http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/CustodianGitTrees ?? 

Since our toolchain haven?t been commit to GNU, could we commit code to u-boot before GNU accept our toolchain support?

Is there anything special that we must provide to you?

 

Thanks for your replying.

 

Best regards,
