The trab board (with a S3C2400 CPU) is still in production. But there we use an old U-Boot version (1.1.4) and I see no need to ever update to a newer version (the board is running stable for some years now). > certainly have no way of testing whether the new code breaks any > of the old code. It has actually come to a point where I'd I would not raise any objections, if the trab board will not be supported by future U-Boot versions. I can't speak for other S3C2400 boards, but AFAIK the production of the S3C2400 has been discontinued.
