Not that I am aware of.

I've always wanted to scratch my itch for the OR1K and bring it
up on an Altera Cyclone. I'd be interested in helping out (if I can
find some time).

If you're familiar with the Altera Nios, you might find the
nios2 tree helpful as a template.

Regards,

That's just a coincidence - we chose an non-existent (and from our
point of view also somewhat unlikely) architecture for the example.

I am not aware of any existing code or porting activities.

But at least you already know what the name of the respective custodian
repository would be :-)

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Actually, that's not quite true.  

Having played with the or1k simulator a long time ago, I made myself
believe in the subversive idea that mentioning it in our documentation
could possibly lead some attention to it.  I'd still love to see a
system that can be studied at (practically speaking) every level of the
design...

I did not dare dream of that actually coming true though ;)

Cheers
  Detlev

Well, I'm hoping to start work on creating CPU support for the OR1200 as 
soon as possible, so maybe I can help fulfill that dream of yours 
Detlev.  ;)

I'm new to the world of U-boot, so I'll probably be asking questions 
along the way.
