Re: [U-Boot] non SPL boot on beagleboard-xm

Hello Tom,

...

I can boot u-boot built from git commit b609009801b8a00644926f49b7d0d0cc0d3d8797 successfully, but it fails with git commit ee08a8260a3a7f6ef2001cfa3e7b6137b485f40a:

The current implementation (after poking some of the other beagleboard.org folks) requires SPL. It's not a hard requirement of supporting SPL that other loaders not be supported, we just didn't aim for compatibility.

thank you for the clarification; I had the impression it might be something optional as CONFIG_SPL implies

MLO/SPL + current u-boot breaks the USB ethernet patches (i.e. booting via tftp)

regards, p.
