should this be 2011.03, or did I misunderstand anything?
+Why: The implementation of U-Boot for the ARM architecture has
- been reworked to support relocation. This allows to
- efficiently use the same U-Bot binary image on systems with
- different RAM sizes, and brings the implementation much more
- in line with the code used for example on Power Architecture
- systems (eventually allowing to merge into common code). This
- seems especailly interesting now that ARM is getting Device
- Tree support as well.
- All ARM boards need to be adapted to this new code, which
- requires testing on the actual hardware, so this is a task
- for the respective board maintainers or other users.
- Please see the commit message of commit f1d2b31 for details:
- http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=f1d2b31
- Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC will be removed
- after release v2010.03; all boards that have not been
here, too, and also in your 2010.09 release note
