You just wrote another version of "14.2.1. Can > U-Boot be configured such that it can be started in RAM?" Yes, I have read it, but it doesn't really answer my question. I'm not asking if I can boot from RAM, I'm asking why would someone think it could be done? If anything, 14.2.1 re-inforces my point: if booting from RAM doesn't make sense, why are so many board header files configured to enable it? -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale
