Hello!

Does anyone know what happened to the patches for loading and booting Windows CE image suggested here:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2008-August/039202.html

Did they get included and have subsequently been removed from U-Boot or did they never make it into the mainline code?

I doubt it. The fact that it used the GPL incompatible BSD license (the one with 'obnoxious advertising' clause) probably didn't help ;)

Regards,

Graeme

If they were rewritten to fit in with the ethos and licensing of U-Boot is it something that would be a worthwhile addition?

I have rewritten them, but they are lack of same part. Physical, Virtual mapping and parameter passing

Are you prepared to share them and I will see if I can figure out how to add the support that is missing.

Thanks and regards,

I'm working for a company for winCe device, and I'm taking care of uboot part of it. I will send the patches after the end of mobile congress,
