First you should be sure if that's exactly what you want. If you just want to play with u-boot on x86, porting it to bochs (or another virtual pc) should be easier and have more benefits than your pc. http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ If you want free software to boot your PC, you should have a look at coreboot (linuxbios) as well. It can also boot other PC related (BIOS dependent) operating systems, like freedos, which you probably wont be able to boot with u-boot. There is a port for bochs, so you can already play with it. http://www.coreboot.org/ > The big problem is that full hardware documentation is hard to get. > Depending on your board and the chips used on it, you might be able to > get the documentation, but historically it is a show stopper problem. > This may be changing with hardware becoming more open for linux drivers, > or maybe you will get lucky... Getting a board which is already supported by Linuxbios should be the best starting point to port u-boot on it.
