Hello Simon, Tom,
I am just stumbeld on an am437x basd board over the problem to pass the bootmode from SPL to U-Boot. On am437x the bootmode info get overwritten from SPL stack, and I need this info in U-Boot.
Hack would be to move SPL stack to another address, but we loose than 0xa000 size for stack ... I do not want to go this way..
I think you need to fix it being over-written as it sounds like we're running over our pre-defined scratch space area and that can lead to other problems as well, depending on how much your platform is deviating from how the TI ref platforms are written. Thanks!
Yes, doable ... but the question is more, do we really want to read such infos twice, instead reading them in SPL and passing them from SPL to U-Boot ?
Probably so, yes. Since we're talking about SPL and a "lots of features, medium sized SRAM" SoC where we've had to carefully tweak configs before to get all desired features within the limits. If you've bled into SRAM_SCRATCH_SPACE_ADDR range you may run into other problems too.
