Re: [U-Boot-Users] u-boot-1.0 and clearing of BSS segment on ARM

Hi folks,

I wonder why there seems to be no BSS clearing function for the SMDK2410 and other ARM platforms like in i386/start.s:bss

Is it assumed that the memory is already cleared on reset?

Hi,

hardware-reset does not clear the contents of RAM, so such function is certainly needed.

This morning I submitted a patch which - among other things - added BSS clearing to all ARMs, so there's hope that the problem will disappear soon :-)
