U-Boot is built with a GNU toolchain which is freely available. I'm not sure why you'd want to configure an audio device inside of U-Boot, since you could probably do it just as easily in Linux. But if you really want to for whatever reason, you could do it. --Chris ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
