And whether there is some way to purge those stuck transactions without turning the bridges on and off and then on again ? Or whether there is a way to even verify there are stuck transactions ? -- Best regards, Marek Vasut _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
