Hello Again Michal, on xilinx boards almost everything can be handled by edk+xparameters, but in other boards this is not true. Last month I was working on a board that had a weird watchdog and a memory that needed to handled by a propietary IP, in this case, we need a board directory because the

Hello Stefan and Michal If you want I can prepare a patch with the idea that I proposed on my previous mail, just to have something to start discussing about. Please consider the patch as it is: something real to discuss about: not a "real" patch I hope I have something today after.

Hello Michal I agree with you that the code of ml507 and other board with that fpga will be almost the same, except external devices like ram, flash type ethernet macs But the same happens in other part of the code: many arm boards are very similar between them, etc. In the other hand is

Hi Ricardo, Stefan and Wolfgang, I looked at patches which Ricardo sent. It is really nice to see that someone wants to add new xilinx boards to U-BOOT. But IMHO this is not the right way. I think that one xilinx board with ppc405 and ppc440 is enough. This is FPGA you can choose almost everything
