Why did you insist that he use the POST subsystem if you don't consider it appropriate for what he's doing? Or is it your opinion that it's absolutely useless to have a progress indicator on a memory test[1], or that such things have no place anywhere in U-Boot? -Scott [1] I don't care how automatic it is, if something is taking more than a few seconds during boot, I'm going to be "monitoring" it as I sit there twiddling my thumbs -- and if it takes that long, I'd rather it not be automatic at all. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
