PowerPC does support this - e.g. see glacier and related boards. I think the steps are something like: - Set up a suitable device tree for the board (can be bare-bones) - Enable OF_CONTROL etc. - Move the CONFIG options to the device tree - Convert anything remaining with the moveconfig.py tool Regards, Simon _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
