Hi,
The boot parameter is transferred to a linux kernel by r2. Many boards set the bd->bi_boot_param to a fixed address? How does this value come from? Who set the boot parameters at that address?
Thanks, -Shawn.

Maybe, maybe not. This may be rioght on one architecture, other architectures do it differently.

See what common/cmd_bootm.c is doing with the "bootargs" environment variable.
Best regards,
