All,
The patch Alex submitted to enable distro boot on ls2085ardb sets up a default bootcmd that looks like this:
bootcmd=run mcinitcmd && fsl_mc lazyapply dpl 0x580700000 && cp.b $kernel_start $kernel_load $kernel_size && bootm $kernel_load || run distro_bootcmd
Was there any particular reason to attempt the NOR flash boot first? (Just backwards compatibility?) That "cp.b" takes a full 30 seconds and seems potentially unnecessary. I thought the board was hung.
We want to support distro boot on all NXP LS* boards, and I'm wondering if it's better to just make running distro_bootcmd the default, and then fall back to NOR flash boot if distro boot fails.
bootcmd=run mcinitcmd && fsl_mc lazyapply dpl 0x580700000 && run distro_bootcmd || cp.b $kernel_start $kernel_load $kernel_size && bootm $kernel_load
Thoughts?
Thanks, Stuart
