Be careful - keep in mind that variables in the data segment will be read-only before relocation to RAM, and variables in BSS will be uninitialized *and* get overwritten with zero when the BSS gets initialized.

Sure. We'll probably need to move timer_init to board_init_r at the end.

I'm not sure if this works. We use udelay() and friends all over the place - a long time before that.

The timer implementation should have no such restrictions as being available only after relocation. Timers / delays are such a basic feature that they should be available everywhere.

Best regards,
