I think we'll implement it the other way round: as soon a there is any definition of the intended interface we will make PPCBoot use bi_recs directly, and provide an (optional) bd_t interface for compa- tibility with old systems. [We already have to support two interfaces right now: one with clocks in MHz, the other in Hz. It's not exactly nice, but it works.] Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-4596-87 Fax: (+49)-8142-4596-88 Email: wd@denx.de There is nothing in this world constant but inconstancy. - Swift ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
