In general, EOL of a board at the vendor is of little meaning to the U-Boot community. As long as the boards are in use, and ther eis someone who is willing to take care of supporting it (even at the level of running tests) we do not drop a board. Boards get dropped only if they become a burson, i. e. if they need fixing (or at least testing) and no active user / maintainer can be found any more. If we would rrop boards as soon as the vendor declares them EOL, we'd have to spend a lof of work now on removal patches ;-) 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 Remember, an int is not always 16 bits. I'm not sure, but if the 80386 is one step closer to Intel's slugfest with the CPU curve that is aymptotically approaching a real machine, perhaps an int has been implemented as 32 bits by some Unix vendors...? - Derek Terveer _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
