[U-Boot] [Q] SPL uses uImage load address as entry point

Hi,

I'm doing some work with U-Boot SPL, and noticed the following code in the spl_parse_image_header function (common/spl/spl.c): if (image_get_magic(header) == IH_MAGIC) { if (spl_image.flags & SPL_COPY_PAYLOAD_ONLY) { ... } else { spl_image.entry_point = image_get_load(header); /* Load including the header */ spl_image.load_addr = spl_image.entry_point - header_size; ... }

Could anyone tell me why SPL uses the load address from the header as the entry point address, and then calculates the entry point?

Thanks Phil
