Hello everybody,
I am using mx1fs2 board based on an arm920t core.
I am new to u-boot and I have read the faq and now I am reading very carefully start.S initialization code to understand the relocation process.
This is what I don't understand:
Theoretically, when u-boot starts executing from flash, it configures some basic registers, configures the sdram controller, relocates itself to sdram and continues executing code from sdram.
But in practice, I don't understand how it is possible that u-boot can run from flash because analyzing the binary it looks that it is only linked to run from sdram. vma=lma=sdram address.
arm-unknown-linux-gnu-objdump -h u-boot u-boot: file format elf32-littlearm Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .text 000138a4 08f00000 08f00000 00008000 2**5
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that lma should be flash address.
I would be very grateful if someone could give me any pointer.
Best Regards,
Aitor
