Yes.
I leave decision up to you for this. My intension was to save some thing which 
is not required

Right, makes sense. I'll update that and skip the current address.

OK, I understand. However, but it might also be useful from U-boot.
Locally, I've loaded the kernel from the ubifs partition, and then it's
useful to have this defined in U-boot as well. If it shouldn't be there
by default, I'll remove it though.

So I think, you want to retain both environment variables untouched
 ( i.e. latest u-boot and u-boot shipped by Marvell)
But so far as mainlined u-boot is considered,
doesn't it make sense to pack uboot-bin and environment sector together?
like sheevaplug, I think first 2 sectors for u-boot and next once sector for 
env should be better to choose.

By default kernel has same mdtpart configuration as you are describing here.
So you don't need this default setup here, you should skip it

Okay,

No you understood it properly

As per my knowledge, I don't this the any hack for this in kernel will be 
accepted.
The same is with u-boot arm net drivers.
At both places fingures are crossed. s/w guys thinks h/w should take care of 
this.
But unfortunately this is not happening with this h/w (may be there are few 
more).
I personally feel that u-boot should handle this (copying ben for this)

Thanks for the comments Prafulla!

I'll update the patch according to them, but have some questions:

This is where the default environment (for the U-boot shipped by
Marvell) resides. Like on Sheevaplug, it uses 4-bit ECC, so current
U-boot won't be able to read it, but I know you're working on it.

I don't quite understand this. This is also the default addresses
shipped with the board.

Well, we need to figure out some generic way of giving Linux the MAC
address on these boards, but I've understood that initializing the
interface without using it is not popular, so in this case I'd just let
the problem remain (no x_bootcmd_eth).

Or did I misunderstand your comment?

[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] Support for the OpenRD base board

2009-09-11 Thread Simon Kagstrom
Support for the OpenRD base board

The implementation is borrowed from the sheevaplug board and the Marvell
1.1.4 code and likely to be a bit incomplete.

Signed-off-by: Simon Kagstrom 
---
The configuration does not include UBIFS support, which still needs
he remaining patches for the bitops cleanup and fixes:

  http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-August/059285.html

to build. Until those are applied, it's turned off here.


I get run-time problems when building for armv5te for OpenRD base
(apparently the same problem occurs for other Kirkwood boards). This
patch fixes that:

  http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-September/059896.html


The second version contains the kwbimage.cfg needed to produce an image
to install on the NAND flash.
