Hello All, I'm trying to determine if U-Boot is a suitable choice for my particular motherboard which is a Jetway / Via C7 (i686) mini-ITX board with a IDE flash drive, and a Realtek 8169 PHY. I am running an embedded Linux app on this board.
I have been using Grub2 for the past year and have reached the point where I need either TFTP or NFS boot capability to 1) ease development 2) provide a firmware recovery mechanism. Grub2 lacks network boot capability other than PXE boot which my board does not suppport. It seems like U-Boot has everything I need but is quite a bit more complicated to configure. Can someone please confirm whether or not I should proceed down this path? If U-Boot is a suitable choice, could you also please help me figure out how to install it on 1) an IDE flash drive and 2) a USB thumb drive Thanks very much, Dallas Clement _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
