[U-Boot-Users] address question in lib_ppc/board.c

Hi,
I'm porting my custom PPC405EP board from bubinga405ep board, now I have a question about macro CFG_MONITOR_BASE: In include/configs/BUBINGA405EP.h, CFG_MONITOR_BASE was defined as 0xFFF80000, base address of FLASH. in function board_init_f: len = (ulong)&_end - CFG_MONITOR_BASE; Here, _led is 0xfffaca58
But in function board_init_r: gd->reloc_off = dest_addr - CFG_MONITOR_BASE; Here, dest_addr is an address in SDRAM, in my board, dest_addr = 0x1fd3000, that is, dest_addr < CFG_MONITOR_BASE. How to understand this?
Thanks,
yuwp

Correct.
in function board_init_f: len = (ulong)&_end - CFG_MONITOR_BASE; Here, _led is 0xfffaca58
What's "_led" here?
But in function board_init_r: gd->reloc_off = dest_addr - CFG_MONITOR_BASE; Here, dest_addr is an address in SDRAM, in my board, dest_addr = 0x1fd3000,
Looks good to me.
that is, dest_addr < CFG_MONITOR_BASE. How to understand this?
Well, we're going to relocate the code to RAM. RAM is mapped at 0x0000, so all RAM addresses will always be smaller then flash addresses.
What exactly is your problem?
