Incomplete documentation is still better than no documentation at all. Instead of complaining it would be more helpful if you supporteed the community by adding to and improving the documentation.

Re: [U-Boot] Manual is out of date, missing commands and information
Hi Wolfgang, So I wrote that when I thought there were better guides online somewhere. I haven't found any more complete guides. Maybe that is intentional? Surely there is some guide out there, either for free or not. Also sorry for the emails with the confidentiality statement. I forgot it was there... -Nate Dear Nathan, In message < dm2pr0801mb074718634a75d114d3d5cd52b3...@dm2pr0801mb0747.namprd08.prod.outlook.com> you wrote: > This manual http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/Manual > is out of date and missing a lot of info. > I have been using it thinking it was the official manual.

Not sure if you want to insinuate anything here, or what. I think it's just a manifestation of the usual situation that developers find it more interesting to hack on the code, and they don't need much documentation because they live with the code day by day - and the users, on the other hand, tend to complain only and not contribute back. > Surely there is some guide out there, either for free or not. If you find anything better than the DULG please lt us know (or, even better, help to improve the manual).
