Understood. > Do you think you could convert the remaining CPUs to ELF relocation as > well? That would probably provide the best base for any further work. I can make the changes for other cpus, but I cannot perform even basic testing beyond making sure it still builds. Besides, while I can reasonably provide a V5 patch by this evening for the five cpus which already support ELF, I won't be able to provide fixes for the whole of arch/arm/cpu/* until thursday evening/friday morning. Is that ok? > Best regards, > > Wolfgang Denk Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
