[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] example: introduce EXAMPLE_LOAD_ADDR

that could be overwrite in followaing order ARCH CPU SOC BOARD
via the corresponding config.mk
the value could be exported to the environment to reduce the user mistake when they try to use example's standalone application

as example generate via the config.h a env var name standalone_load_addr automaticly so the end user will just have to built it, load it and run it

i still dont get it. config.h is the shortcut header to get at the board config.h. defines do not randomly get exported from there into the environment. the autoconf.mk mechanism only exports CONFIG_* stuff. -mike

via the board config.h you could add default extra env settings by doing this as example
#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS "standalone_load_addr="xstr(STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR)

#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS "standalone_load_addr="xstr(STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR)
so you're talking about the u-boot runtime environment, not the u-boot build environment.
i dont think your example here is the whole story. nothing moves the u-boot make var STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR from the env into CPPFLAGS / define. so you would also need to add to some .mk somewhere: CPPFLAGS += -DSTANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR=$(STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR)
probably best if you just deleted that last paragraph from the commit message since it's too vague to be useful imo. -mike

The load address of a standalone application cannot be known at compile time of the U-Boot image.
Please don't assume that the code / Makefiles etc. of that application is even part of the U-Boot source tree or build system.
Please don't assume that everybody uses the same load addresses.
Please don't asume that all standalone applications running on a system use the same load addresses - there are cases, where several SA apps are simultaneously loaded, etc.
Don't try to be clever when this cannot work.

I do not assume it that's why I've call it at the first version EXAMPLE_LOAD_ADDR because it was only for the example
Please don't asume that all standalone applications running on a system use the same load addresses - there are cases, where several SA apps are simultaneously loaded, etc.
I known I just want to cleanup the example As you describe we can run multiple app at the same time and I've done it on some of my board

Please don't assume that the code / Makefiles etc. of that application is even part of the U-Boot source tree or build system.
Please don't assume that everybody uses the same load addresses.
Please don't asume that all standalone applications running on a system use the same load addresses - there are cases, where several SA apps are simultaneously loaded, etc.
Don't try to be clever when this cannot work.
i dont really see the value in moving the load addr from the u-boot build env to the board env automatically, but moving the definitions from examples/Makefile to the top level $arch_config.mk sounds sane to me. -mike
