As for question 1: Generally speaking, simpler code means smaller code, which is, I think, the most important factor in U-boot; also, simpler code means less prone to bugs, which is also important for a bootloader. In your case, I would suggest finding and thouroughly reading the device specifications or datasheets. Are they available? As for question 2 : Taking code from Linux is generally allowed. However, keep in mind that depending on what code you're speaking of, this may imply either pulling more code than you need or having to modify the code you pull. > Best regards, > Marcel Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
