Dear Sebastien,
Are there better options? Which one would you prefer to see implemented?
Yes. The old-fashioned #define CONFIG_BOARD_INIT_F and friends method. I would prefer that one. Its not beautiful but still widely used and bullet-proof.
Could you please elaborate? I have looked for things like this in the code base but I could not find what you are referring to.
extracts from arch/arm/lib/board.c:
#if defined(CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT) arch_cpu_init, /* basic arch cpu dependent setup */ #endif #if defined(CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F) board_early_init_f, #endif #if defined(CONFIG_ARCH_MISC_INIT) /* miscellaneous arch dependent initialisations */ arch_misc_init (); #endif #if defined(CONFIG_MISC_INIT_R) /* miscellaneous platform dependent initialisations */ misc_init_r (); #endif #ifdef BOARD_LATE_INIT board_late_init (); #endif #if defined(CONFIG_RESET_PHY_R) debug ("Reset Ethernet PHY\n"); reset_phy(); #endif
Just a few that can be "enabled" by board specific defines.
"xxxboard".h #defines them and "xxxboard.c" has to implement them.
Best Regards, Reinhard
