Re: [U-Boot] Mips: start.S Questions

This is not quite correct. "romReserved" is only used for the, well, reserved entries. There are other parameters passed, these two are pretty important for example:

The thing I don't get is if you expand the RVECENT macro into the code wouldn't you get this:

_start: b reset; nop /* U-boot entry point */ b reset; nop /* software reboot */

b romReserved b romReserved

....

romReserved: b romReserved

So wouldn't it get stuck in an infinite loop straight away, calling romReserved recursively? I'm obviously overlooking something I think.

And what's the point of passing the second parameter (0-127) to RVECENT when it's not used?
