My vote would be to require all boards in the board/ directory to be in a vendor directory. When you buy the board it is pretty obvious from the accompanying packaging/manuals who the vendor is. This would also assign some responsibility to the vendor to maintain the subdirectory for their products. Another choice is arch/cpu. You can use the Kconfig search function Ctrl-F to jump right to a board name if you know it. > > Best regards, > > Wolfgang Denk > > -- > DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel > HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany > Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: [email protected] > When the ax entered the forest, the trees said, "The handle is one of > us!" -- Turkish proverb > -- Jon Smirl [email protected] _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
