Re: [Qemu-devel] [PowerPC] New board walnut with u-boot

[Salvatore Lionetti]

Hi François,

i've just sended a first revisione of file emac.c, understood that is ok, but 
until now no code is added to svn. Now i'll try with the second.

As you see in e-mail, my port is not all comprehensive of Walnut board, so some 
little patch in u-boot is needed.

If Haitu port is well done, i don't expect big pb!

Have a good day
