I posted a message before about this, but I didn't really give it the most descriptive subject (I went off to find the chip model and then forgot to add it to the subject, doh!)
Basically I'm trying to port uboot to the Broadcom BCM7038 chip, the current bootloader I have is specific to the board (Hermes), and loads the kernel from flash. I'd rather use uboot to start the SATA HDD and load the Linux kernel from there. I have the source code for the bootloader and all the Linux drivers, as well as documentation on the processor, but I'm not very good at low level code. As far as I can see I need to create a cpu/bcm7038 directory, add the start.S from the original bootloader, and modify it to work with uboot (this is the part I'm really not sure on!). Then add a board/hermes directory with the rest of the original bootloader init code, and modify that to include the SATA drivers, bring up the SATA interface, then load the kernel. But theory is far from practice, and I'm already having trouble. Would someone be able to assist me in porting to this cpu/board? -- Regards, Peter Belm
