Ok, great.

Sorry, my fault, I wasn't clear.

I was just referring to the fact that in addition to your
source, the Denx tree also has the work they are doing on
the TQM board that contains an 8349E.

Ok.

The reason I was asking, was that I want to benchmark an 8349E
based system. Wolfgang Denx mentioned the TQM system, so I took
a look in the Denx tree, and saw that their work was based
on yours. I assumed your work was for a Freescale reference board,
but didn't know which.

Thanks for the clarification.
