Dear Andrew,

I need to boot a HW test program and it expects to be loaded down at address 0x0 with the interrupt vectors laid out. So it is like a stupid homegrown OS.
This is a perfectly valid requirement.
I came up with this quick fix to check for a load to address 0x0 for a standalone type, and not re-enable interrupts.
Thisi s not a good idea; at least it is not general enough if you consider all the different architectures etc.
But I am not sure if the check would be universal. Would it better to add a new type or flag to image header.
If you boot "a stupid homegrown OS" then do it like that: use the "bootm" command for it.
It looks like RTEMS is the simplest OS loader and it should work as is with my image, but it would be nice to have a generic print instead.
What exactly do you mean by "have a generic print instead" ?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
