U-Boot-1.1.5 released

Hi Hippo,

I built a few configurations last night -- everything builds fine ... I haven't

tested the images yet. But I don't anticipate any problems -- there weren't

any significant changes to the Nios II trees.

Best Regards,

Yes, I can&#39;t find any improvement for Nios II. :< too bad.

I had added "bootargs" patches to both kernel and u-boot to pass kernel command line,

please check them on the Nios wiki.

I didn&#39;t check them, yet.

Cound you please check out, and let me know if it works or not?

Thank you.

Hippo

This will be very helpfl.

Ok.

BTW: We should discuss this off-line. There are several things that, IMHO, need improvement.

Passing the command line was one -- thanks for doing that. Two other &#39;priority&#39; features are

-- passing the board info structure to the kernel (from a bootloader).

-- passing the ramdisk address to the kernel (from a bootloader).

Basically, use a strategy similar to PowerPC embed_config ... or the flat device tree ...

I&#39;d like to see the nios2_system.h file go away ;-)

I had tried to pass initial ramdisk address about one year ago. But I did not success, then I used initramfs. I shall look at it again. It should be easier to me now.

Updated for initrd support. not tested yet.

u-boot patch ver2, uClinux-dist patch ver14.
