Dear Timur Tabi,
In message 1326472903-6423-1-git-send-email-timur@freescale.com you wrote:
On some Freescale reference boards for SOCs with Fman devices, the Fman microcode is located at address 0xEF000000 in NOR flash. Unfortunately, this address is in the "middle of nowhere" and makes it difficult to partition flash space for other images.
So we change the expected address to 0xEFF40000, which is the flash sector adjacent to the environment.
Instead of hard-coding magic addresses which then need to be changed again and again, would it not make more sense to read the value from an environment variable so it can be easily changed without having to modify the source, rebuild, reinstall all the time?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
