[U-Boot-Users] SystemACE support for u-boot via fat

[U-Boot-Users] SystemACE support for u-boot via fat

[Stephen Williams]

I've made a patch relative the current CVS (at sourceforge)
that adds support for a Xilinx SystemACE chip directly
attached to the PPC. (Well, conceivably any CPU type.)

I've made the bundle of diffs and new files available for
ftp download here:

    <ftp://ftp.icarus.com/pub/steve/u-boot-ace.tar.gz>

Changelog here:

* Add support for Xilinx SystemACE chip:
   New file common/cmd_ace.c
   New file include/systemace.h
   Hook systemace support into cmd_fat and the partition manager.

I hope this survives all the mailers. This is the patch
itself. The new files in the next messages.

Changelog here:

* Add support for Xilinx SystemACE chip:
   New file common/cmd_ace.c
   New file include/systemace.h
   Hook systemace support into cmd_fat and the partition manager.

This is the systemace.h and systemace.c files that goes
with the earlier posted systemace patch. These files go
in include/systemace.h and common/cmd_ace.c

Sorry, this format is not acceptable. Please submit a  proper  patch.
See section "Submitting Patches" in the README.


There is NO need to handle new files differently (the 'N'  option  to
diff will take care of that). And please do not include any releavant
text  (patches,  files)  _inline_  if you are not 100% sure that your
mailer does not wrap lines.

"cvs diff -puRN" does not include new files, the -N flag is
useless in that context as cvs does not know of those files
so does not even try to diff them. You will need to accept
the patch (made outside of CVS) then do a "cvs add" so that
they are added to the repository.

As for inline vs. attachment, many lists don't accept attachments,
so I was being cautious. However, the README does explicitly
say that MINE attachments are accepted. Oh well.

* Add support for Xilinx SystemACE chip:
~  New file common/cmd_ace.c
~  New file include/systemace.h
~  Hook systemace support into cmd_fat and the partition manager.

Are you realy right ? The CVS short help 'cvs --help diff' says:

" -N      include diffs for added and removed files."

The man page of GNU diff says:

" -N
  --new-file
    In directory comparison, if a file is found in only one directory, treat
    it as present but empty in the other directory."

If I had write access to the repository, then I could
"cvs add" the files and then use "cvs diff -N" to get
the desired patch. But then, if I had write acces to the
repository, I could just add it without patches flying
about:-)

You  can  run  CVS  with  a  local  repository.  Which  is   strongly
recommended   anyway   (except   you   are  using  another  /  better
configuration management system -  which  then  probably  provides  a
different tool to export patches).
