[U-Boot] [PATCH] OMAP4: quick image loading & memory init on Pandaboard

Improved default config for OMAP4 Pandaboard for faster boot: -reduced environment size to speed up memory initialization; -tweaked blob load address to avoid image relocation (according to default uImage load address);

An environment size of 2 kB seems way to small for amost practical purposes. I agree that 256 kB might be overkill, but why not chose a more reasonable size like 16 kB, or say 8 kB if you are really trying to squeeze any microsecond?

256 << 4 ? Who is supposed to easily read and understand this?
If you mean 2 KiB, you could use either 2048 or (2 << 10).
In any case - please reconside rif 16 KiB is nt more reasonable. The time difference should be minimal (did you measure it?).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

sorry, I just used the way it was done before (besides those lines were commented)

sure, 16k is a reasonable tradeoff. Thanks for your comments, I'll resubmit the patch.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
