Yes it probably would have been, if I had noticed that the ftdump utility existed, then that is the approach I would have taken. I think it is of specific use to u-boot users, but if you think it's better to extend ftdump, I guess I could take that approach. -Joe _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
