[PATCH] Load PBL into SRAM

[PATCH] Load PBL into SRAM

[David Vincent]

This allows to load all the lowlevel init code, including the
uncompressor, inside SRAM and not just the bare init part. This is
useful when pbl is used as a first-stage bootloader but is loaded by an
external ROM code.

I do not understand this patch. Is there something missing in it?

BAREBOX_PBL_SIZE is defined but unused.

Just to make sure I understand this correctly: The patch does not make a
code change, all it does is to check that the binary does not get too
big, right?

I stumble upon this 'allow', maybe better something like:

On some hardware the ROM code can load the pbl into SRAM, but not the
whole image. This option specifies how big the pbl may get.

What do you think?

I don't think the format is changed here. It shouldn't matter where the
/DISCARD/ is, right? Nevertheless the patch looks more obvious if just
the line is changed, not its position.

This just removes the trailing '\' which is necessary here.

Sorry, I misread the patch. My thought was that BAREBOX_PBL_SIZE
replaces (and includes) BAREBOX_BARE_INIT_SIZE, but this is not the
case. So you are right, BAREBOX_BARE_INIT_SIZE should not be removed
here.

It isn't obvious for me why the trailing '\' is necessary but you know
better than me so I will put it back and add one on the next
definition.

I wasn't clear. What I meant is that it's necessary to remove the
whitespace. But as said, I misread the patch anyway.

Re: [PATCH] Load PBL into SRAM

Sorry to come back on this subject, but I just synced with the
mainline and I noticed that the patch was not fully applied. It was
missing the part

diff --git a/pbl/Kconfig b/pbl/Kconfig
index dc31357..1edc2d1 100644
--- a/pbl/Kconfig

which is needed to make everything work. So should I provide a new
patch containing only this correction on the mainline ?

My mistake for the /DISCARD/, I will change it in the next submit and
put back the information about BARE_INIT_SIZE

BARE_INIT is included in PBL, but, alright, removing the condition doesn't hurt.

Yes, my first submission was wrong.

[PATCH] Load PBL into SRAM

[David Vincent]

This allows to load all the lowlevel init code, including the
uncompressor, inside SRAM and not just the bare init part. This is
useful when pbl is used as a first-stage bootloader but is loaded by an
external firmware.
