|
|
|
|
+What: CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC option
|
|
|
|
+When: After Release 2011.03
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Why: The implementation of U-Boot for the ARM architecture has
|
|
|
|
+ been reworked to support relocation. This allows to
|
|
|
|
+ efficiently use the same U-Boot binary image on systems with
|
|
|
|
+ different RAM sizes, and brings the implementation much more
|
|
|
|
+ in line with the code used for example on Power Architecture
|
|
|
|
+ systems (eventually allowing to merge into common code). This
|
|
|
|
+ seems especailly interesting now that ARM is getting Device
|
|
|
|
+ Tree support as well.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ All ARM boards need to be adapted to this new code, which
|
|
|
|
+ requires testing on the actual hardware, so this is a task
|
|
|
|
+ for the respective board maintainers or other users.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ Please see the commit message of commit f1d2b31 for details:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=f1d2b31
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC will be removed
|
|
|
|
+ after release v2011.03; all boards that have not been
|
|
|
|
+ converted by then, i. e. that are still broken then, are
|
|
|
|
+ considered unmaintained and without interest for the
|
|
|
|
+ community and will be removed as well.
