U-Boot booting RTEMS

[Erwin Rol]

Hey all,

I dunno if anybody else is already using U-Boot( AKA PPCBoot ) with
RTEMS, but i made a small patch for U-Boot (which i will submit shortly
to the U-Boot maintainers ) that give mkimage the posibility to create
gzipped RTEMS images, and boot them. I pass the U-Boot config structure
in R3 , to use this structure one needs a tweaked header from U-boot,
the structure is depended on what CPU is used, it is very simple though,
and should not be hard to integrate in the BSP.

If there is any interest i can make patches for both RTEMS and U-Boot so
that ppl can try it before those patches get accepted by the developers
of U-Boot/RTEMS.
