This has the positive side-effect of actually allow U-Boot to run on PXA- and IXP-based targets; the current implementation sets up the heap using bogus addresses causing u-boot to crash (this even applies to the recently added board "ixdp425").
I don't disagree that memory layout for ARM is broken. But, I've never seen a crash on any of my Xscale boards, including a couple of new ones based on ixdp425 and cradle.
Hi Kyle,
Do you by any chance happen to have RAM at and around address 0x0badc0de ? Otherwise I don't see how PXA/IXP could possible work, for the reasons Richard already gave. (see also http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/S/schroedinbug.html ;-)
(BTW, I recognize you've contributed significantly to the PXA implementation I'm relying on and I'd like to thank you for that).
Cheers Anders
