[U-Boot-Users] Make for AmigaOneG3SE fails

[Felipe Gil Castiñeira]

Hi,

I am studying the feasibility of using the "x86 BIOS emulator" (in 
/board/MAI/bios_emulator) to initialize an ATI graphics card.

As a first step, I am trying to compile U-Boot for AmigaOneG3SE (which 
uses the bios_emulator), but there are lots of warnings and errors. I am 
correcting the code, but the errors are endless.  At least some of them 
seem related to the toolchain or to changes in the U-Boot includes. For 
example (an error compiling unmodified code):

     In file included from ../bios_emulator/scitech/include/x86emu.h:50,
                     from ../bios_emulator/x86interface.c:1:
    ../bios_emulator/scitech/include/x86emu/types.h:42:23: sys/types.h:
    No such file or directory

Has anyone here compiled U-Boot for AmigaOne? If the answer is 
affirmative, which toolchain (and version) did you use for the 
cross-compile? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
    Felipe.

P.S.: I use the ELDK compiler configured for ppc_74xx- under linux x86.

I'm afraid you have to dig through  this  mess  -  unfortunately  the
AmigaOneG3SE port has never been really maintained.

The port was added about 3 years ago (Nov 2002) in  the  U-Boot-0.2.0
time  frame; it was workig by then, at least the Amiga folks released
working binaries. I don't know if the code contributed  back  to  the
public  source  tree  was ever clean and working - sorry, but I don't
have access to such hardware, and there is no  other  maintainer  for
this port.

This should work fine. Problems are caused by the unmaintained source
tree for this board.

Viele Gr??e,

That's what I was afraid of, but I had to ask  :-) .  Eventually,  I 
managed to compile the code (with lots of warnings and quick-and-dirty 
modifications). Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time for this task, 
but if I get any positive result, I will send it to the mailing list.

Best regards,
    Felipe.
