NOR boot support for barebox on the mini2440

[André Lochotzke]

Hello,

for a small student project I want to add support to barebox for booting
from the NOR flash on the mini2440. I hope that it will not be too
difficult since barebox can already boot from NOR on different boards.

Did somebody already do some work to enable NOR boot on the mini2440?

Do you have any suggestion of where I should start?

There is already an u-boot version since 2010 [1] that supports it. The
code can be found here [2].

Are the u-boot and barebox NOR subsystems very different? How much time
do you think would it take to get this done?

Regards
André
