NVIDIA's flashing tools assume that the bootloader is loaded at address 0x00108000. Instead of requiring non-standard builds of those tools which allow a load address of 0x00E08000, this commit just switches all Tegra2 boards to use the standard load address.
Note that to successfully boot a standalone U-Boot with this load address, U-Boot needs to be built with USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes.
Isn't that true irrespective of TEXT_BASE? That's certainly been my experience.
Yes, but the emphasis is on "standalone" since you can run mainline U-Boot as second stage for quickboot/fastboot and 0x00E08000 as load address without building with USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes. The reason for including this in the commit message was that it isn't documented anywhere else and I wanted to avoid a situation where this question needs to be answered over and over.
Perhaps the commit message is not the best place, but I would still like to have this documented somewhere. Any suggestions?
