Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 2/3] mpc85xx: Add a board-specific restart hook

Dear "Moffett, Kyle D",

In message 8B4AC84D-1F22-4326-B75A-FB3CC39A5CF7@boeing.com you wrote:

By that definition, my board cannot safely use U-Boot's "reset" command.

You can call halt() or panic() as last stage of your reset implementation.

Heh. Mike writes the same ;-)

Would you accept a patch which makes it possible for a board to not implement a "reset" command at all?

There are a few places in common/cmd_bootm.c which are converted to use panic("...") instead of printf("...")+do_reset().

This is not acceptable, as changes behaviour: panic() will halt the system, not reset it.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
