Let us start to get an overview regarding TI DaVinci patches floating around. Sorry if anything is wrong or missing, please correct then. First, I think we should split the discussion for OMAP24xx and OMAP34xx from DaVinci. So, looking at DaVinci, I can at least identify three patchsets floating around, not sure if and what the relationship is between them. 1. (Original?) patch from Ksi: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/27603 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/27604 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/27605 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/28314 I think these are the patches mentioned in http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/PatchStatus 2.Patch from Philip Balister: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/29399 http://www.balister.org/~balister/u-boot-sffsdr.patch 3. Patch from Ivan Tonchev: http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/davinci-linux-open-source/2007-July/003645.html http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/davinci-linux-open-source/2007-July/003652.html I haven't looked at all of these. A short discussion with Philip Balister showed some basic requirements for a merge candidate: At least support for TMS320DM6446 based DV-EVM with default/basic NOR and EMIF configuration. Further, it would be nice if the initial work is easily extendable to machines beyond the EVM. May be we need to split the processor stuff off from the board stuff so that it is easy to add additional boards later. Opinions? Best regards Dirk P.S.: DaVinci list in CC for information.
