A few more lines but the intention is that it should work with both ARM and THUMB. I'm in favour of Russell's idea of setting pc to physical before calling cpu_reset(). /* Go to physical addresses to be ready for MMU disable */ asm("ADR r1, pc_phy_here \n\t" "sub r1, %0 \n\t" "mov pc, r1 \n\t" "pc_phy_here: \n\t" : :"r" (PAGE_OFFSET - PHYS_OFFSET) : "r1", "cc"); Where is the best place for this code? Should this be run for all ARM cpu_reset()? I haven't found a nice way to add to cpu_reset() yet. This is what I have so far. 1. Redirect cpu_reset to c-function __cpu_reset_phy() that sets the pc to phy and then calls __cpu_reset() (the original one) 1.1 May add ifdefs in __cpu_reset_phy() to only do the virt to phy transition for some explicit ARM versions before calling __cpu_reset() 2. Rename cpu_v7_reset() to __cpu_v7_reset(). Only redirect cpu_v7_reset() to the c-function that goes to phy and then calls __cpu_v7_reset(). 3. Add a new in parameter "phys_offset" to cpu_reset(). Modify only those CPU_reset() that needs this parameter. Redirect cpu_reset(x,y) to CPU_reset(x) or CPU_reset(x,y) based on ARM version. Regards, Per
