This allows to + efficiently use the same U-Boot binary image on systems with + different RAM sizes, and brings the implementation much more + in line with the code used for example on Power Architecture + systems (eventually allowing to merge into common code). This + seems especailly interesting now that ARM is getting Device + Tree support as well. + + All ARM boards need to be adapted to this new code, which + requires testing on the actual hardware, so this is a task + for the respective board maintainers or other users. + + Please see the commit message of commit f1d2b31 for details: + + http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=f1d2b31 + + Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC will be removed + after release v2011.03; all boards that have not been + converted by then, i. e. that are still broken then, are + considered unmaintained and without interest for the + community and will be removed as well. + +--------------------------- What: CONFIG_NET_MULTI option When: Release 2009-11 |
