[U-Boot] User Question

[Bishop, Mark]

Is this the list I can ask questions for deploying uboot to a custom
board based off the blackfin bf548?

 

Some of my questions are not processor specific (like what is the
approach to getting the micrel ks8995 and a smsc lan9215 talking and
started -the ks8995 needs a spi start command)?

 

I've started digging into the documentation at
http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Documentation and the git repository.
And I'm trying to find out if someone has already done this so I don't
have to reinvent the wheel.

 

Thanks for any replies and my apologies if I am in the wrong spot.

I think you need to bug Mike with this stuff.

btw yes, this list should be the right place.

this is the list for anything u-boot related

the bf518f-ezbrd has a ksz8803m on it, but it supports it by open-coding 
things in board/bf518f-ezbrd/bf518f-ezbrd.c.  there's a bit more logic than 
normal due to it handling different revs of the board -- older ones had the 
switch, but newer ones do not, hence it does runtime detection to support one 
binary image for all revs.

i recall seeing people post about ksz switches in general, but i don't think 
that got anywhere, so what we did for the bf518f-ezbrd is probably your best 
bet for now.
