I think Detlev is right here. We do have specific board vendors directories, and there are a number of reasons to keep this used (just to give one example: say a vendor wants to use a similar look and feel for the default environment settings etc. for all boards). If there is code which is identical for several (or all?) boards we should ask ourself if it really belongs into the board/ directory at all? > Actually.. there's nothing Altera specific in board/altera (it works > on ebv just fine), so board/socfpga sounds like a better name.

I think board/altera as such makes sense, with Altera being the vendor of that specific board. However, if there is common code there, this code should be moved out of board/ . [Note that I'm just commenting from an outside point of view; I did not check to what extent the "common" code under discussion here is truely common to all possible board configs.] 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: w...@denx.de The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
