Yes, usually i prefer to make a binaries wich are able to start from RAM, Jtag and Flash. Currently we test if it is running from spi flash adn skip most of the low level init: https://github.com/olerem/barebox/blob/ar9344-2017.08.01.1/arch/mips/boards/tplink-mr3020/include/board/board_pbl_start.h#L29 On this board i decided to use SRAM for low level init testing: https://github.com/olerem/barebox/blob/ar9344-2017.08.01.1/arch/mips/boards/tplink-wdr4300/include/board/board_pbl_start.h#L38 > .macro mips_disable_interrupts > .set push > .set noreorder > mfc0 k0, CP0_STATUS > - li k1, ~(ST0_ERL | ST0_IE) > + li k1, ~ST0_IE > and k0, k1 > mtc0 k0, CP0_STATUS > .set pop > .endm > > For now, I have splitted mips_disable_interrupts into two macros.
