Re: [U-Boot-Users] Function pointers after relocation

      Hello,

When u-boot has relocated from Flash to RAM, it is correct that function 
pointers (eg. getenv()) still point to the Flash code rather than the 
RAM copy? Would this be corrected by changing the link address, in which 
case where do I find it (the link address that is) - in the .lds file?
This is not correct. The problem is that staticlly  initialized  data
(like  initialized function pointers() must be manually relocated. If
there is such a thing left pointing to flash, it is a bug and  should
be fixed.
Which part of the code are you speaking of?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
