Personally, I think it makes sense to > remove all support for sh2a and sh3 now. I attended an interesting talk at LinuxCon Japan 2015. I realized there is on-going movement to leverage patent-free sh2 processor. Visit this for the abstract: http://lccojapan2015.sched.org/event/860288ccda595208a5d7337d31c6075c?iframe=no&w=i:0;&sidebar=yes&bg=no#.VXLwxlXtlBd I recommend to keep sh2 support for U-Boot now and keep an eye on this activity. Anyway, you can build all the sh2 boards with the sourcery toolchain, so your motivation to delete them is lost. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
