Subject: Can physical flash initramfs cpio address be given to bootm?
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:54:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3d1967ab1003221054l102b1638veb5d2086a07c681a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100322090854.GB10684@pengutronix.de>

In my research it appears other ports allow this but patches have been
submitted to ARM kernel to keep from having to do a useless copy from
flash to RAM only to have the Kernel relocate the ramdisk yet again
... but the patches have not been accepted.

I can do it, it just appears like a wasted step that wastes time
booting a embedded system.

I'm currently investigating some of the patches that have been
submitted regarding this issue.

Regards,

Brian
