- patch should be split into at least two patches. One for
the first stage loader changes and one for the second stage u-boot
absolutely correct. It is also my desired. Because you query the LAW, I submit the patch for that purpose.
- we should look at refactoring common code so not to
duplicate it. For example can we put a fair amount of common code w/start.S in a header to share w/nand_start.S
You are right, I was considering the idea. make the first 4K (bootpage) shareable for NOR and NAND boot.
Also, how much space do we have for the first stage loader? How big is the current u-boot created first stage loader (how much free space
do we have?)?
4K for the first stage loader. currently the first stage loader occupy 60~70% of the 4K bootpage.
Another issue is, could we split the relocate code from 4xx/83xx/85xx/86xx to on common/ppc/relocate.S?
