Now i can jump back on following, if there is any sense in keeping m68k/coldfire. Let me know, if ok i start back checking all old patches from tonight. Also, will have to update my email and rebase to master.I'm glad you're back. I think the first thing to do would be to confirm that U-Boot still works on at least some supported board, then confirming you can still access https://source.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-coldfireFWIW, m68k is still a very actively maintained architecture in the Linux kernel and userland with even LLVM and Rust having recently added support for m68k. I also own a Coldfire board myself (not sure which one without looking), so I can offer to test U-Boot patches in the future.
That's great to hear. While I started my life on m68k machines, I never did get Linux up on one. Do the coldfire platforms you have run U-Boot today? If so, are they already supported upstream? One of my biggest concerns about the architecture, in U-Boot, is that I've just not heard of anyone using it in quite some time, and we don't have any emulated platforms either (can it be done in QEMU? We have other plaforms in CI via QEMU) so I worry it's not working. -- Tom
