To quote Yogi Berra, "When you come to a fork in the road... take it."[1] Maybe V1 lives on. Maybe V1 runs out of gas, gets overwhelmed by legacy, and V2 becomes the continuing u-boot (think linux's ppc -> powerpc). Maybe the two will meet up again at the far side of the circle. Regardless, you have a choice. You can and should pick the branch that best solves your problem. Viva la OSS! Best regards, gvb [1] Legend has it, Yogi was giving directions to his house which was on a circular road, so it really *didn't* matter which fork you took. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
