This would work for GPIO setup, but some boards may require procedural initialisation to setup external FPGA, etc. The best way still seem to be a board specific init function, which the user can easily enhance for exotic needs. This is not the way I want to have for my boards, but I don't have to put anything in there, so it don't collide. My current interest is currently more to have compiletime options for clock rates. Optionally just by compiling the xtal frequency and reading the PLL registers to get the rest. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de support@fizon.dehelp
