The .org should be within the ifdef. Although it does not change the generated binary code, but logically it would be a more correct place. Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the previous mail.

The .org should be within the ifdef. Although it does not change the generated binary code, but logically it would be a more correct place. Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the previous mail.

I think we should keep it outside. If we add qemu-malta, then we get another #if branch. I also would like to move some register inits (watch, timer, status) to slightly reduce binary size.

Looks good, I have only one minor comment below.

In addition you could completely remove these exception vectors for u-boot binaries, which will be loaded from SPI- or NAND-flash (or some other storage, which is not memory mapped), which typically involves some ROM code. In this case, the vectors are already part of the ROM.
Best Regards, Thomas

Ok, it does not really matter now. The .org can be moved into the ifdef later when there will be a board which needs some other magic value at 0x14 for example.

Hm, do you want to initialize those registers between the reserved vectors?
