Hi; I just noticed that our u-boot submodule is still stuck on
a commit from 2014 when it was first added to QEMU. Should we
move this forward to some more recent u-boot release?
I think we only use this for our ppc e500 rom...
It probably makes sense to update the e500 rom and bump the submodule to
the latest U-Boot release along the way, yes.
U-Boot 2017.07 just got released, so now is quite a good point in time
to do so.
I think we should rather update the submodule to commit 79c884d7e4 since
that is the level that is used for the pc-bios/u-boot.e500 binary (see
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=d4574435a6530bbd96ae13 ).
Why not update both?
Because it needs some proper tests in that case...?
The problematic mv_gen_reg.h is also not part of that commit level
anymore.
Alex, could you please send a patch for the update? Or shall I prepare
one?
I tried to compile U-Boot from 2017.07 earlier, but don't have a working
ppc build environment anymore :(
I've never been into that e500 stuff, so I also do not have a proper
test environment for that embedded ppc stuff ==> let's update just the
submodule to 79c884d7e4 and call it a day?
