Subject: [U-Boot-Users] U-boot for Mips 4KEC
Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2004 17:13:47 +0100	[thread overview]

If you look at the other MIPS boards, e.g. dbau1x00, you will
see that you setup SDRAM with assembler code to create a temporary
stack in sdram before executing any c code.
(start.S calls memsetup.S)
