We do support patches > 100k - Just not directly via the mailing list. They get posted here: http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/U-Boot/TooBigPatches You will need to set yourself up on the U-Boot wiki to post your patches there Regards, Graeme _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
