We generally like to host replacement (and enhanced) loaders for supported devices. The way do this is typically a set of patches including defconfig and maybe a default environment, on top of mainline U-Boot. In this particular case, imho it would be the best to extend https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/tree/main/package/boot/uboot-mvebu instead of having a patch set (leave alone an opqaue source tree) for a single board. If you can extract your work into patches to be applied there, that would be the best. Create all patches in a way that can be applied upstream -- not all of your work may be suitable or target upstream, but hardware drivers and defconfig typically the answer is typically 'yes'. If you have questions or need any help with that, let me know. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
