Re: [U-Boot-Users] u-boot-1.0 and clearing of BSS segment on ARM

Dear Markus,

in message 200401091408.44458.mpietrek@fsforth.de you wrote:

I wonder why there seems to be no BSS clearing function for the SMDK2410 and other ARM platforms like in i386/start.s:bss

We inherited this from the ARMboot port, and so far nobody fixed it - but see the recent patches by Anders larsen on this list.

Is it assumed that the memory is already cleared on reset?

I don't know what the guys who implemented this assumed. The code as is is broken.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
