Re: [U-Boot] using U-boot to lauch OS-less application

Dear "Mangelschots, Jef",

In message 30B2E08442EE5044AE9822AD2C2F714305396ADC1A@SAFEMAIL.safetran.railad.com you wrote:

1.  Is it possible to have U-boot launch a standalone executable
   

application, rather than start up an OS (e.g. Linux, VxWorks) ?

Yes, this is possible.

2.  If so, is this possible ? what would need to be done ?
   

Yes, this is possible. You just need to write a standalone application.

3.  Can U-Boot be compiled with GreenHills compiler, or is it best to
   

crosscompile with GNU ?

I have no idea if or how thee GH tools work, or if anybody ever tried or even succeeded building U-Boot with them. If you want reliable results quickly you are most probably better off with a GNU tool chain.
