Wolfgang,
Please find attached a patch for Intel CPU IXP425 and eval board IXDP425.
This is applied against 0.4.0 (I tried several times to pull from CVS but
failed, and finally gave up).
Note: This patch does NOT include support for the PCI bridge :(
Regards, Kyle.

Thanks, will be added ASAP.

Seems SF is falling victim to it's success. Many project managers and
users at SF complain about the problems; litte to nothing happens.
All I can do for now is to provide more frequent snapshot releases
(like the brand-new 0.4.3) which you can pick up at
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Documentation is the castor oil of programming.
Managers know it must be good because the programmers hate it so much.

Another thing to note about the IXP support is that there is NO network
support due to license restrictions. Intel has chosen to release their CSR
libraries under a proprietary license. The CSR libraries provide the Access
Layer, which is a software interface for accessing the hardware ports. I'd
had heard rumors that Intel was going to release this code under GPL, but
that was months ago. So, for now IXP only supports the serial interface.
Kyle.

Maybe you can write a short summary and submit it as doc/README.IXP ?

Currently there is no more serial number needed to download Intel hardware access software. All you need is to finish some
registration forms. See the following page:

Be careful, be _very careful_!
The registration process also requires you to accept the "INTEL
SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT for the Intel IXP425 Network Processor
Intel IXP400 Software" which includes this part:
You shall not take any steps which cause the Software, as
delivered hereunder, to be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Free Software Foundation's General Public
License (GPL) or Lesser General Public License (LGPL), by
incorporation (other than limited header files) of the GPL or
LGPL code, or by static link or other linking or other method
which subjects any portion of the Software to the terms and
conditions of the GPL or LGPL, or other open source license
restrictions, in the absence of prior written approval by an
authorized representative for Intel.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Sorry, I didn't see this part. Does it mean that we cannot use any part of Intel's code in GPL or LGPL licensed software without
Intel's permission?

Kevin

Added. Sorry this took so lang. Will show up on CVS "soon".

You go slow, be gentle. It's no one-way street -- you know how you
feel and that's all. It's how the girl feels too. Don't press. If the
girl feels anything for you at all, you'll know.
