[U-Boot-Users] Design question

I'm porting to a board that has a Xilinx SystemACE hanging
off the local bus (CS#1) of a PPC405GPr. Looks fairly easy
to write a driver that can be presented to the FAT filesystem
support. This'll give me the ability to pick and choose the
image I want to boot on the inserted CompactFlash card.

My question is a matter of integration. Should I create a
new cmd_ace and some ace commands (a la cmd_ide for IDE
drives) and plug that into the cmd_fat.c file the same
way the other peripheral bus devices are handled? I think
it makes sense, and that's what I'm going to do. Am I nuts?

No need to do that on such a list...

I don't think you are. On the other hand - maybe you  can  just  plug
this into the existing IDE framework?

Best regards,
