Dear All, This is an RFC.
The first instruction during RAM boot is a branch to _start. This is as desribed in the start.S file for ppc4xx arch. This is not the case when trying to do a RAM boot build for the ppc405 platform. ** Pre-patch build-x405g-pre/u-boot: file format elf32-powerpc Disassembly of section .text: 04000000 <version_string-0x4>: 4000000: 27 05 19 56 dozi r24,r5,6486 ** Post-patch build-x405g-post/u-boot: file format elf32-powerpc Disassembly of section .text: 04000000 <version_string-0x8>: 4000000: 48 00 21 01 bl 4002100 <_start> 4000004: 27 05 19 56 dozi r24,r5,6486 Comments are very much welcome. All the best, Rommel During RAM boot first instruction at offset 0 of load the load address should be a branch to _start.
