We already have done some work for multi-platform kernel support so I do beli= eve that most things are already in place. I am copying Igor Grinberg, our Linux team leader. He will support you with t= he necessary U-boot materials and documentation. Looking forward to further developments. Best Regards, Igor. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Tremer [mailto:michael.tremer(a)ipfire.org]=20 Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 12:59 AM To: Igor Vaisbein Cc: sig-arm(a)lists.ipfire.org Subject: IPFire on Utilite Hello Igor, although this email is directed to you, I am CC'ing our Special Interest Grou= p ARM mailing list for archiving purposes. As you know, we are currently working on rebasing IPFire on Linux 3.10 and we= are introducing a multiplatform kernel which is supposed to run on a lot of = ARM boards including Utilite. We made progress and solved some very hard to solve grsecurity-related issues= in association with Brad, so that we currently have a kernel which boots on = a Wandboard Quad - also based on the same Freescale SoC you are using. Some p= atches for supporting Utilite are already included, so that I have very high = hopes, that this kernel will already boot on that hardware as well. The Utilite I have got, unfortunately comes with an old version of u-boot, wh= ich does not support the bootz command that is required to easily boot a mult= iplatform kernel. Could you please provide the sources so that we can build a version of u-boot= with our requirements? It would also be great if this is a more recent one (= don't know if there is development going on behind closed doors). I also think I remember that Utilite will run the bootloader it can find on t= he micro SD card, if I don't confuse this with an other device. So that if I = want to replace/test my own version of u-boot I don't need to flash the inter= nal one. I cannot find the documentation about this matter any more and I wou= ld like to know where the u-boot image needs to be placed in order to be exec= uted. Thank you very much for your help. -Michael P.S.
