Message-ID: <1152280943.19463.49.camel@localhost.localdomain> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: u-boot@lists.denx.de I have at91rm9200dk with SPI DataFlash only (without Flash), u-boot 1.1.4, kernel 2.6.10. I'd like the kernel to use u-boot's "bootargs" as cmdline. To use u-boot's data the kernel should know its absolute locations... I see the kernel expects environment at TEXT_BASE + 0x100 (that's 20000100), but u-boot places environment at 21ede00c (result of function env_get_addr(0)). I believe the last will move if I edit smth in u-boot. Summary: in function do_bootm (where u-boot starts loading the kernel), I should copy the whole environment to the area starting from location 20000100. Is this right way? Trouble: bootm doesn't substitute variables (${ipaddr} ${serverip} etc.). I should copy-substitute. There should be a function for substitution - does anybody know? Regards Andrew
