Subject: [U-Boot] Info on NAND-SPL
Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2011 17:04:05 +0530 (IST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <96382.60182.qm@web95116.mail.in2.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hello, 
?
I was trying to understand how NAND-SPL works. What I could understand after seeing the code is that 
1) NAND-SPL is a standalone application which will load the U-boot in the main memory. 
2) After doing the clock and DRAM initialization it will relocate itself in the DRAM. 
3) Then it will copy the u-boot from the nand into the RAM and execute the u-boot. 
?
If my understanding is proper, then I have one doubt 
1) Since the nand_spl is making use of the same Start.S and lowlevel_init.S, the u-boot code will also perform relocation? So is it not a overhead doing relocation twice? 
?
Also is there any similar implementation for MMC-SPL? 
?
Thanks 
Hatim
