Subject: [PATCH v2 18/21] riscv: link ELF image into PBL
Date: Tue, 06 Jan 2026 13:53:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106-pbl-load-elf-v2-18-487bc760f045@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106-pbl-load-elf-v2-0-487bc760f045@pengutronix.de>

Instead of linking the raw binary barebox proper image into the PBL link
the ELF image into the PBL. With this barebox proper starts with a properly
linked and fully initialized C environment, so the calls to
relocate_to_adr() and setup_c() can be removed from barebox proper.
