I did not see any message on this list regarding your problem.

If you have the means to publish your current state as a Git repository somewhere that would be appreciated I guess. Additionally I do not know what the best way is to send patches to support a new board. One huge patch which gets the board going right away or several small patches like serial port, memory initialization, … and the last one being adding it to the Konfig system. Thanks, Paul
