Running Barebox in Barebox.

Running Barebox in Barebox.

[Renaud Barbier]

I have seen an example of tftp loading barebox in /dev/ram0
and then running it with the go command.

Is that something that has been tested with the MPC5200?

Else is there a good example to achieve this?

Cheers.

Yes, this works on most boards.

This should work since

    ppc mpc5200b: cleanup lowlevel startup
    
    The old startup process consisted of several CFG_LOWBOOT,
    CFG_RAMBOOT ifdeffery which I do not understand. So remove
    all this and replace it with:
    
    - put the entry point for second stage loaders to offset 0x0
      so that we can do a go /dev/ram0 to start a second barebox
    - When we come from the reset vector assume MBAR is at 0x80000000
    - When we come from the second stage entry assume that
      SPR 311 is in sync with the current MBAR address.
    - Switch MBAR to 0xf0000000 and we are done.

Just tested on current master and this works for me.
