Hello,

I'm a relative newcomer to u-boot, but it's nice to see a multiplatform
boot firmware solution. I have a couple of questions to start with:

I've tried fetching the source from anonymous CVS on sf.net and I always
get to the point where it's fetching u-boot/tools/updater/utils.c, and
the checkout hangs. Has anyone else experienced this issue? 

I'm interested in using u-boot for an Alchemy Au1100-based board. As I
understand it, the Au1100 is based on an enhanced MIPS 3k core. Aside
from toolchain issues, has anyone ported u-boot to a 3k core? I
understand the major difference between the 4k and 3k is the pipeline
depth, which would seem to be a tools issue. 

Thanks,

Tim

The CVS service at SF hash serious problems for quite some time now.
I haven't seen a hang at that stage, but that really says nothing at
all.  You can grab a recent version (17 Aug) from our ftp server
though.

I am not too familiar with the MIPS family but in the sources there is
support for one MIPS 4k based board and for one MIPS 5k board, so you
can probably claim new ground here...
