Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/2] Fix uInitrd handling
Date: Thu, 2 May 2013 11:07:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1367485632-10725-1-git-send-email-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> (raw)
Hello,
U-Boot doesn't honor the load address of uInitrd images but just places it
somewhere in RAM. So it's sensible to let barebox not being more strict
than U-Boot.
This makes it possible to boot a Debian system on an i.MX53 Loco board
with the setup prepared by flash-kernel. That uInitrd uses a load
address of 0x0 where there is nothing on i.MX53.
This series contains an additional cleanup. I'm not 100% sure it's ok
though. Is it intended that UIMAGE_SOME_ADDRESS being passed to bootm
not being used literally? Should I squash the cleanup in the other
commit? Also a similar simplification might be possible for the load
address of the uImage.
