wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005* Patch by Lutz Dennig, 10 Apr 2003:
6 Update for R360MPI board
7
8* Add new meaning to "autostart" environment variable:
9 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
10 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
11 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
12 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
13 data.

stroeseee14b832003-04-10 13:30:28 +000015* Patch by Stefan Roese, 10 Apr 2003:
wdenk3f9ab982003-04-12 23:38:12 +000016 Changed DHCP client to use IP address from server option field #54
17 from the OFFER packet in the server option field #54 in the REQUEST
18 packet. This fixes a problem using a Windows 2000 DHCP server,
19 where the DHCP-server is not the TFTP-server.
20
21* Set max brightness for MN11236 displays on TRAB board
