Yeah, redboot is not exactly famous for good usability ;)

Thanks for noting. This indeed looks buggy.

Looks mostly good, some remarks inline.

Are you sure you want to drop this? You could attach a USB ethernet
dongle.

Consider using bootloader spec entries, see
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/
Basically you put a config file under /loader/entries/ in your rootfs.
The config file describes where your kernel/initrd/oftree is. Under
barebox you just have to 'boot mci0' without further configuration.

You can write a delay loop in c with:

	volatile int c;

	for (c = 0; c < 0x4000; c++)

(the volatile prevents the compiler from optimizing the loop away)

Instead of ifdeffing the code you can write:

	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_USB))
		return;

The compiler is clever enough to optimize the unused code away, still
you get better compile coverage.

Same here:

	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LED_GPIO))
		return;

Seems nice, I'll have a look at it.

Well, no, at least not on my toolchain. Because the volatile ask gcc to
not optimize the variable, it then put it on the stack. But the stack
pointer is not yet initialized, so it crashes. I've tried with a
barrier() instead of the volatile, but it leads to the same assembly
(which is not surprising). Here is the compiled code with your suggestion:

         ldr     r2, .L9+8
         b       .L2
.L3:
         ldr     r3, [sp, #4]
         add     r3, r3, #1
         str     r3, [sp, #4]
.L2:
         ldr     r3, [sp, #4]
         cmp     r3, r2
         ble     .L3

With L9+8:
         .word   16383

But the stack pointer is initialised only in barebox_arm_entry() which
is called later. So I decided that a two instructions assembly loop was
the simplest solution.

Ok, will do.

Thanks for this review, I will post a V2 with the required changes.

This may happen because the function gets too complex and gcc starts
using the stack in this case.

Try rewriting the lowlevel stuff as:

static void __noinline mx31_moboard_startup(void)
{
	/* Put setup here */
}

void __bare_init __naked barebox_arm_reset_vector(void)
{
	 arm_cpu_lowlevel_init();

	 arm_setup_stack(MX31_IRAM_BASE_ADDR + MX31_IRAM_SIZE - 12);

	 mx31_moboard_startup();
}

With this you can use the stack and should be on the safe side.

Ok, I tried and it works fine so I will do this.
BTW, any reason for the -12, why not -8 ?
