Dear Eugene,

This is taken from cpu/mips/config.mk
As Dan already pointed out the config.mk file probably needs some adaption to support other MIPS configurations. It just happened to work like this for the currently supported boards.
Also, this is part from Makefile:
ifeq ($(ARCH),mips) CROSS_COMPILE = mips_4KC- endif
Yes, I know. But the Purple is really a 5Kc system - as far as U-Boot was concerned the code there was no prolems using the 4Kc configuration for it.
So, what is all this then, an exercise in obfuscation? I can tell, it
No, lazuiness - you only change what really needs to be changed to get something working. As long as this is a one-time use this is IMHO even acceptable. It's when more systems get added when you have to think about a more general approach.
Anyway, my comment still stands, this is bogus and cannot work for 4kc at least. The only reason INCA-IP port works is because memory is really initialized before stack is accessed.
Please feel free to submit a patch.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
