Re: Volunteer for "Add FFS support to U-Boot"

[berte <behzaterte%yandex.com@localhost>]

Hey Jared, thanks for your quick response :-)

At the moment, I added ffsv1/v2 into Kconfig file also I'll separate source code a bit later. 
On the other hand, I can add whole variants into u-boot, however my main port strategy is  ffsv1/v2 but I'm open to suggestions :-)

Btw, I can create github repo for this task, what do you think about that?


Cheers,
--berte.
