Hi,
Thanks for your responses Wolfgang! - I think in that case if I link the initialization code with the u-boot image, then my standalone application will come under GPL conditions, right? If I dont do any network operations in U-boot(dont link the code with u-boot image), just do the hardware initialization of the switch registers only, then will my standalone application have any sort of issues with respect to the GPL?

Dear "Nagesh.ML",
In message 20201180.post@talk.nabble.com you wrote:
Yes we require this initialization of the switch for network operation.

Is this initialization necessary for the network operation in U-Boot?
If the initialization is needed to run Ethernet, and if you ant to use network functions in U-Boot, then you should link the code to initialize the Ethernet hardware with the U-Boot image.
Best regards,
