After all, SPL too was "that much shorter bit of code that was run before U-Boot because U-Boot is too large to load and run directly on this platform". Granted, SPL now tends to outgrow itself -- to the point that it becomes more of a 'lightweight U-Boot', as Falcon mode shows -- but obviously, there is a need for a very short code piece that can fit in e.g. a NAND access device's read buffer. > Regards > Henrik Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
