[U-Boot] MIPS relocation?

[U-Boot] MIPS relocation?

[Wolfgang Denk]

Dear Shinya Kuribayashi,

with all the discussion about relocation on ARM going on, Heiko and me
wondered if we had similar problems on MIPS. Unfortunately don't we
have to any MIPS board that could be used for testing.

Could you please tru and check if the current top-of-tree version of
U-Boot still works on MIPS systems? Please check especially if the new
environment commands work, i. e. please try out:

	printenv	versus 		env print
	saveenv		versus		env save

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Hi Wolfgang Denk

since my board (Ben NanoNote) is mips.
so I test the those commands in my board.

printenv, saveenv: works fine.
env print, evn save: make U-Boot hang. (then I must reset the board)

my board patch never touch the common/ folder.

if I have time I will try to debug.

[U-Boot] ARM (was: MIPS) relocation?

Not surprisingly, it makes env subcommands work on ARM/AT91, too:)

Thanks,
Reinhard

PS: I still get the "*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment"
when relocation is on :( - of course that is a different issue from
command handling... Since the env is read before relocation, I must
investigate further there.

Thanks a lot for testing. This confirms that we have a more global
issue here, i. e. not only ARM is affected, but also MIPS.

Any MIPS tool chain experts out there to try and follow-up for MIPS
what Albert is doing for ARM right now?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Xiangfu, thank for your testing!  I don't have the latest U-Boot ready
for test/debug right now, nor couldn't follow the ongoing discussions
precisely.

I'll have a look at what's discussed, then think about what to do.
