'Hello World' provides a perfect example of a standalone application on the x86 as it stands already. The 82559 is the EEPROM for the Intel Fast Ethernet controller, and as such, I think any interface to it should be done via a proper driver and not by a standalone application. Besides, I really doubt that there are any systems using an 82559 and U-Boot in the wild, and probably never will be. I vote for deletion Regards, Graeme
