Hi,

        Could anyone tell me what are the .inc files found in the LinuxBIOS source?
        Are these generated from the C code (for the sdram code I could see an
association between the .c and corresponding .inc) and how ?


The .inc files are assembly language files that "stack up" or include, in order, on top of crt0.base. These execute first, and eventually move the C-code (and decompress it if necessary) to RAM, ending at c_start.S, which jumps to the C-code. The .inc files do things that are necessary as a prelude to running C, which needs RAM (ie, a stack).


Each .inc file must jump around its data, it is expected to execute top to bottom and flow to the next file included below it.
