What: CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC option
|
||||||
|
When: After Release 2011.03
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Why: The implementation of U-Boot for the ARM architecture has
|
||||||
|
been reworked to support relocation. This allows to
|
||||||
|
efficiently use the same U-Boot binary image on systems with
|
||||||
|
different RAM sizes, and brings the implementation much more
|
||||||
|
in line with the code used for example on Power Architecture
|
||||||
|
systems (eventually allowing to merge into common code). This
|
||||||
|
seems especailly interesting now that ARM is getting Device
|
||||||
|
Tree support as well.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All ARM boards need to be adapted to this new code, which
|
||||||
|
requires testing on the actual hardware, so this is a task
|
||||||
|
for the respective board maintainers or other users.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Please see the commit message of commit f1d2b31 for details:

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC will be removed
|
||||||
|
after release v2011.03; all boards that have not been
|
||||||
|
converted by then, i. e. that are still broken then, are
|
||||||
|
considered unmaintained and without interest for the
|
||||||
|
community and will be removed as well.
