Hello,

as already discussed, FDT is a good choice for dynamically configuring U-Boot. I actually plan to use FDT to configure some devices of a MPC823, namely PCMCIA, the LCD controller, CAN and the RTC. Are there already some ideas on the related startup sequence and how to re-use the FDT when booting Linux. I guess there will be a FDT address defined in the config file, e.g. CFG_FDT_BASE and the FDT will then be read and checked somewhere early in the init sequence (in lib_ppc/board.c).

Thanks for any input.

Wolfgang.
