[U-Boot-Users] u-boot-0-3-0
Hai
I am trying to understand the flow of u-boot loader running on FADS MPC823 PPC core.
Now i am struck up in the function relocate_code (addr_sp, id, addr); called by the file /lib-ppc/board.c . The comment says /* NOTREACHED - relocate_code() does not return */ This assembly function resides in /cpu/mpc8xx/start.s What is the address value loaded into Link register before the final instruction BLR in the above function has become a mystry for me ? Due to which I am not able track where does it jump out from this function.
If anybody can deciphere this it would be very much appreciable.
Thanks and Regards

The comment in start.S also says "Do not return, instead branch to second part of board initialization, now running from RAM."

Which part of "bl board_init_r" is difficult for you to understand?
