Hi Tyler,

I am curious if anybody has done any work on getting barebox running on
the leopardboard, so I do not reproduce effort.

I am especially interested in setting up a bootloader that directly
supports USB and DFU, so that I do not need to use the UART/serial port.
I know nothing about the leopardboard, from googling I found out that
this is a beagleboard with a camera connected to it, right? Barebox runs
on the beagleboard, but unfortunately we do not have USB support for it.
You would have to port the usb driver for it, then DFU should work.
As a first shot you can compile the beagleboard defconfig and see how
far you get.

Unfortunately, it is a little different - it uses a DaVinci DM355 processor, which is an ARM9 + custom DSP. The beagleboard uses an OMAP3x of course. Unfortunately, even I am confused on the TI naming scheme as to what is an OMAP versus what is a DaVinci.

I will probably do as you suggest - start with the beagleboard configs and also look at the leopardboard code in the ti u-boot repo. Hopefully that will give me enough data to get the basic barebox running.

The USB worries me, since I am just familiar enough with it to know how complex it can be. Time will tell.

Thank you for your input.

Tyler
