What is the difference between /lib and /common
Hi Wolfgang,
A quick question for you - What defines what belongs in /lib versus /common?
I get that cmd* and env* belong in /common (U-Boot specific) and crc, zlib, gunzip, qsort etc belong in /lib (generic)
But others are a bit grey like malloc in /common and display_options() in /lib
The reason I ask is to know where to put the new timer API - I'm thinking /lib/time.c with udelay() makes the most sense
Regards,
Graeme

/lib should be stuff that is called from (several, many) other files, while /common is architecture independent code like the central main loop, command handlers, etc.
