'imload' provides a more direct means to load from an image file. Also created a load_image routine out of the code in do_bootm() that is shared between do_bootm() and do_imload(). Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala galak@kernel.crashing.org
Note, this is against the u-boot-testing new-image branch.
Thanks.
Two comments:
- The load_image routine (and consequently imload commad) will not
work when the image is stored in Data Flash.
what's the issue here?
- The code as-is will clearly not work with the new image format --
how about we wait a few days for the new format patchset I've mentioned in my previous email today? Note that the patchset will have a routine that you could use to deal with the Data Flash scenario.
I'm concerned about how long it will be before people adopt the new image format. Also, do you at least have a spec for the new image format?
