Add common option parsing for mm/md +- Clean up make system. Currently I think there are many things from the linux make + system which are not needed for U-Boot. +- Rename vmlinux -> u-boot +- get/set for nonextisting parameters crashes +- There is a xmalloc function which panics when out of memory. Use this function + where we don't want to check for oom. Same applies to strdup/xstrdup. +- Implement current work directory +- cleanup common.h. There are far too many things in it where we better have a seperate + header file. +- Rewrite network stack. The one-loop-for-all-protocols stack is just too ugly and + big and uses thousands of global variables. Identify common functions and make + a loop per network protocol +- Cleanup cpu/*. Many functions there are not cpu specific. For example the cache + functions for arm are common for most arm processors. +- Implement a info command for malloced space. Use it to find memory holes. +- U-Boot used to have support for different consoles. The old code was huge and + ineffective, so I removed it. Reimplement it using the driver model. +- Board support should go to arch/*/boards/* +- Move SoC specific header files from include/ to include/asm/arch/ +- The header files in include/asm-linux/ are i386 specific. Make it work on your + i-Book (bigendian...) +- Globbing support? Might be too expensive, but on the other hand, if you have the + space, why not? +- FS support is not optional eventhough the Kconfig system claims it. +- Implement protect/unprotect support for cfi devices. +- patch hush.c so that you can get/set device parameters with dev.param= and remove + get/set applets +- Implement a command 'countdown' or similar. It should delay the boot process and + interrupt it if a certain string is received. The string could be any key, ctrl-c + or a certain string. Maybe like this: + countdown -m msg -t timeout -x [ctrl-c|anykey|string] + If done, remove the corresponding stuff from common/main.c +- Implement 'rm' +- ARCH=linux should catch ctrl-c +- Several .c/.h files do not have GNU/copyright headers. +- the mount command currently does not accept a full path (i.e. /dev/nor0) but + only a device id string (nor0). This sucks. +- The cramfs driver currently uses direct memory accesses instead of read(). This disqualifies it + for real block devices. +- Add documentation for: + - driver model + - device parameter + - big picture
