Dear "sywang",
In message E20D124831AF42E094DEFD4F59B45E9E@sywangPC you wrote:
how does Linux call the function from u-boot?
Simply: it does not.
When Linux starts running, U-Boot is gone and dead; nothing of it survives the boot of Linux except for the parameters passed to the Linux kernel.
Linux has no idea which boot loader has been used to start it, nor can Linux call any functions from the boot loader.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
