Please help. Michal, I saw you were involved with this... https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2016-October/269080.html I am drowning in a sea of legacy and generic code flows within SPL. I am wondering what design/methods to use if doing a new zynqmp based design. I see a bunch of flows where different images can be loaded: CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME I see comments in include/configs/xilinx_zynqmp.h like "/* u-boot is like dtb */" which adds to the confusion. ... or should I try, if at all possible, to boot directly to linux from FSBL? Or do this https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/18841976/Prepare+boot+image#Preparebootimage-Example:FSBLpre-loadsLinuximages and make a very stripped down u-boot proper (no MMC driver needed), and boot into pre-loaded kernel? Thanks guys. -- _______________________________________________ meta-xilinx mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-xilinx
