To: "U-Boot Version 2 (barebox)" i just want to clarify the direction of barebox -- is it meant to eventually supplant u-boot? i ask since i want to know if it's not worth investing much more time in u-boot (v1) if things are eventually going to switch over to barebox. specifically, i want to use it on my beagleboard, so i "git" checked out the source for barebox, configured it for the beagle, built it with the denx "arm-linux-" toolchain and it booted. i haven't got any further than that so far but that's all i was after -- just getting it to boot to the barebox prompt. at this point, if barebox is merely *adequate* to do what i want and supports booting my beagleboard fully, is there any reason i don't just move to it entirely, knowing it does what i need and it's only going to get better? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
