Hi,
the commit 41623c91 breaks the SPL on i.mx31 platforms.The original startup code (start.S) was position independent to allow relocation in board_init_f. This is necessary as the internal RAM used by the IPL to load the first 2kB from NAND is also used by the NAND controller to buffer pages.
As far as the issue goes: where and how exactly is the code not position independent now?
Does changing the startup code back to PIC generate any drawbacks on other ARM platforms?
How would this changing back to PIC be implemented? Not by reverting the patch, I hope.
What was the intention of the change besides unifying?
Any other intent would be stated in the commit message.
Could someone verify the issue on a i.mx31 platform.
Magnus also reported the same issue to me recently.
I don't have access to a mx31 board at the moment to investigate this bug.
Maybe Albert, Stefano or Magnus could help?
I don't have mx31 hardware either.
Thanks,
Fabio Estevam
Amicalement,
