But anyway - the idea here is to have a testbed for my at91 patches that I can use before I send them upstream. I have a proprietary at91sam9263 based board that I will try to add support for in barebox. But only the parts touching the atmel boards are relevant for the upstream barebox. Step 1 was to get barebox workign with the EK, and with the two small patches I already sent it looks like I had some luck there.
