a) write a reverse of loadb.c which will work on windows and linux.. probably playaround with Dirk's code a bit.. This should give a possible flashing alternative (phase 1).
b) port/customize lm sensor i2c (David Brownell's new arch) to U-Boot V2. (I need this for twl4030/twl5030 access).
c) Hard part: port usbtty to u-boot v2! this is a messy affair.. :( Steve K promized me with some 2430 ref code.. for some unmentionable reasons, I cant look at musb documentation, so gotta trust the code..and make some sane judgements.. keeping my fingers crossed.
d) another hard part: NAND/NOR/OneNAND for SDP, NAND for zoom MDK and Beagle: Sigh... if only NAND was easy to port.. the code rt now in U-Boot V2 is MESSY!!! wishing MTD could be brought over straight..

Weird thing 1: hyperterm screws the port up making my script not work - work around, run terraterm once and close, try perl script again.
Wierd thing 2: For some reason terraterm does not allow me to download over kermit.. some goofup that I currently dont have time to figure out.. I think I'd be better off with writing my own app.. something for folks who cannot afford kermit 95..
Patches are due to be send out on May 21st.. Wednesday..

#warning ;)
Loadb has changed since the initial proof of concept. Thanks to Dirk pointing me to my own post ;)... U-boot v2 uses a devfs model, hence i had modified loadb to do "loadb -d /dev/ram0" to do kermit to sdram offset 0. just do a "help loadb" to get more details. Further, loadb has a couple of limitations.. in it's current implementation, it is kinda brain dead about devices such as NAND, OneNAND etc.. ideally it should download straight to it.. you just cant have a 128Meg SDRAM, 256Meg NAND and download in chunks to sdram, copy from there to NAND(as the current u-boot v1 does), that'd be plain dumb!.. so i have couple of other patches in the pipeline..which:
a) change the stupid '-d' to '-f'
b) do U-boot v2 file system chunked (4096 byte)buffering before writing to target device.
Hoping to clean it up.. sooon..
Ralph, thanks.. been a few days since I blogged recently.. hoping to get more time..
