Dear "Piyush Shah",

I have to write some standalone applications to be run from U-boot. My questions are:

1. Can we include only those header files which are a part of the U-boot

code? What needs to be done to use files from the /usr/include/ folder?

You can do anything you want, but you have to keep two thingsin mind:

1) The GPL license exception for standalone programs is pretty specific. If you deviate, your resulting code will most likely have to be released under GPL.

2) U-Boot provides only a very simple, restricted runtime environ- ment. Any additional stull you include may require additional libraries, which may rely on operating system features, or C runtime features, that are not present in U-Boot context.

2. Does the code for the standalone application be always present in the

examples/ folder?

No. These are just examples.

3. Can't we write our own Makefile which will create a .bin and .srec file

from a simple C-Program and work from U-boot, instead of compiling entire U-boot?

Yes, of course you can.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
