well the elf binary of u-boot obviously has everything we need regardless of what options it was compiled with. If we had a full linker at runtime we could just do a relink to whatever address we wanted. It sounds a bit easier to just loop over a list of pointers and change the values than to implement a complete linker but maybe that is just me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ U-Boot-Users mailing list U-Boot-Users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/u-boot-users
