Hi Thomas<br>
<br>
Thank you so much for your nice explanation!<br>
Yes I have misunderstood about ARM. <br>
Like you said, it is a general architecture.<br>
<br>
I will figure out the hardware board name from my headquater
company.<br>
<br>
But I have a doubt about the boads that U-Boot can deal with.<br>
You told me that there thousands of different boards. But how<br>
can U-Boot know these board names? And how can U-Boot know<br>
there are new boards that come out?<br>

Hi Terry,<br>
<br>
U-Boot has it's own project side. They include new boards in a
similar way like buildroot: Someone likes to have support for a
certain board and starts work. E.g. using a tutorial like this:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/embedded/embeddedprime/opensource/0136130550/ch07lev1sec4.html">http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/embedded/embeddedprime/opensource/0136130550/ch07lev1sec4.html</a><br>
<br>
A good start is to use an existing similar board as template and
start modifying it for the new one.<br>
I don't think that buildroot introduces new boards to u-boot itself,
but you can use br to make your own patches for a new one and
perhaps send them to the u-boot developers:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot">http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot</a><br>
Check the boards known to u-boot here:<br>
