Hello again Sorry for slipping the u-boot list e-mail address i understand the benefit of relocating u-boot to the end of DRAM but in systems where boot time is critical this redundant copy is undesirable. anyway i understand there is no official way of avoiding it. One more question i have is

Hello Marek ALWAYS CC U-BOOT ML Thank you for your answer My SOC (Marvells Armada Controller) uses a bootrom code to copy to initialize the DRAM and to copy the u-boot image. so the entire DRAM init and copy sequence in u-boot is redundant. I see. I know about this soc's bootrom.

Hello everyone im trying to port u-boot 2011-09 to a new board with an arm based SOC i found that u-boot will always relocate the code even if it is placed already in DDR which is the case with my SOC. The u-boot is always relocated to the end of the DRAM, which is likely what you want.
