I want to execute a an OS (either Linux or Android) on the Arndale exynos 5250 board. The board features 2 GB of RAM. However, I want to statically alloacate a specifc region of RAM (e.g. 1 GB) to be used by the OS, While the other 1 GB is reserved for other purposes.
If you boot an OS, you don;t reserve any memory in U-Boot at all. At the moment U-Boot branches to the OS entry point, U-Boot is dead and gone, including any memory alocation information that might have been present in U-Boot.
It is then up to the OS to set up it's own memory manegement.
Best regards,
