[U-Boot] Does U-boot allow snapshot restoration?
Hi all,
This is Shiwen, good morning! :)
I wan to do fast boot for arm , but I am not familiar with U-boot, as title says, I'm curious that U-boot for smdk2410 allow snapshot restoration? If allowed, can you tell me witch function do this work?
Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.
Have a nice day!
Cheers, Shiwen

You can look for SPL u-boot, which should allow you rapid loading of Linux.
However, I'm not sure if smdk2410 supports it out of the box. You mus evaluate it by yourself.
Have a nice day!

Could you tell me more about this? Any docs or explanation will be fine, thanks.

Alright, I try.

You can poke for info on the Internet.
For example: http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/U-Boot+Secondary+Program+Loader http://xillybus.com/tutorials/uboot-hacking-howto-3

The Boot sequence:
PWR on -> Rom BOOT (in SoC ROM) -> SPL (tiny u-boot with enough code to start console, DDR, etc) -> u-boot (full-blow version with FS, network support) -> Linux.
You can omit the "u-boot" step with SPL and boot much way faster.
I'm not sure for 100%, but some other Samsung/Hardkernel boards have some binary blobs instead of SPL and hence they only use "full" u-boot.
Have a nice day!
