-Supported Architectures
-------------------------
-
-If you are unlucky then your architecture may not support generic board.
-The following architectures are supported now:
-
-   arc
-   arm
-   avr32
-   blackfin
-   m68k
-   microblaze
-   mips
-   nios2
-   powerpc
-   sandbox
-   x86
-
-If your architecture is not supported, you need to select
-HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig
-and test it with a suitable board, as follows.
-
-
-Adding Support for your Board
------------------------------
-
-To enable generic board for your board, define CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD in
-your board config header file.
-
-Test that U-Boot still functions correctly on your board, and fix any
-problems you find. Don't be surprised if there are no problems - generic
-board has had a reasonable amount of testing with common boards.

-DeadLine
---------
-
-Please don't take this the wrong way - there is no intent to make your life
-miserable, and we have the greatest respect and admiration for U-Boot users.
-However, with any migration there has to be a period where the old way is
-deprecated and removed. Every patch to the deprecated code introduces a
-potential breakage in the new unused code. Therefore:
-
-Boards or architectures not converted over to general board by the
-end of 2014 may be forcibly changed over (potentially causing run-time
-breakage) or removed.
