I like the Linux and u-boot-v2 directory layout too the more I think about it too. How about if I resend this series but with the final directory structure looking like: /arch/$(ARCH)/lib/<source files currently in lib_$(ARCH) /lib/ /<source files currently in lib_generic> /libfdt/ /lzma/ /lzo/ /examples/ /api/ /standalone/ That will lay the groundwork for moving additional files into /arch/$(ARCH)/ down the road. eg I think it would be nice to move the directories in /cpu/* into their respective /arch/$(ARCH)/ directory, and possibly the /include/asm-$(ARCH) directories in the long run. What do others think of this? Best, Peter _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
