[U-Boot-Users] EP852 support

[Vladimir A. Gurevich]

Hello,

Does anybody know whether U-boot supports EP852 board from Embedded 
Planet? Their website sort of mentiones that and offers to buy it for 
$900+. I'd assume they submitted their patches into the main tree, but I 
can't find anything in the CVS.

Can someone enlighten me on that before I start demanding stuff from them?

Thanks,
Vladimir

No such support is available in the public source tree.

Neither can I :-(

And I didn't receive any patches either.

Ask EP, please.

The sales people offer things like this on the web site but we don't
actually do the port until someone pays.  We have not done an EP852 yet.

After we do one it will be submitted as long as it is not hacky.  Some
times it is a rush job that would never be accepted.

The GPL still applies, i. e you have  to  ship  ALL  systems  with  a
*written*  *offer*  to  give  any  third party a complete copy of the
source code.

Not the written offer part.

I'm innocent, that's the sales stuff.

We are going to follow GPL to the letter.  Of course this will be when
we actually do one.
