Hi!
Marek,
If you want to keep this board:
- Please convert it to Generic Board
- Please use arch-common linker script
Yeah, I want to keep this board, but please give me a bit of time to do this. This one and the zipitz2 are the two PXA boards which I have and want to keep.
I recall the u-boot-spl.lds was really needed to keep the size of the SPL under 1kiB ; without this the board was unbootable when using the OneNAND.
So, you worked around your problem in a wrong way.
I imagine this linker script means: We build many objects for SPL, but do not want link them. To keep the SPL size under 1kiB, only 4 objects should be linked into the SPL. The correct way of doing this is to disable CONFIGs for SPL, by Kconfig or by include/configs/vpac270.h, but it is troubulesome (or tedious, or impossible at all?), so this weird linker script is needed...
I'd say having per-board linker scripts is a mistake of U-boot. They should be deprecated in the long-run.
Is it possible to replace
drivers/mtd/onenand/built-in.o
with
drivers/built-in.o
Given that any other drivers should be disabled for SPL, this should work.
And it should be enough for my series.
