Dear Matthias,

Please pay attention to the global memory map requirements. PRAM might go first.
Can you please explain this a bit more in detail? I checked the source and README for CONFIG_PRAM and it seems to be reserving some space at the end of RAM. But I have only found reference to it in ppc and m68k code.
Right. But there is a chance that the ARM implementation might be reworked soon, and then it will follow the documented approach as well, so better start correctly from the beginning so you don;t run into conflicts soon.
What would be the correct way to reserve some 2MB-4MB at the end of system RAM as a framebuffer for the integrated graphics device?
See the PPC implementation for reference.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
