Most U-Boot command use IDs to identify devices/interfaces, e.g. in "ext2load mmc 0:1", the "0" means MMC instance #0. The instance number is parsed out from the end of the alias name. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
