Hi, Currently CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT is used to select arch_cpu_init() function.
arch_cpu_init() does CPU level initialization, so why do we need to include CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT in the include/configs/boardXYZ files, which are board related files ? For example: Let's say boards X, Y and Z are based on SoC S: 1. If processor S has a arch_cpu_init() defined, then it means that X,Y,Z need the code from arch_cpu_init() and then we need to define CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT for each of these boards (actually all the boards based on this processor would need CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT) 2. If not all boards need the code inside arch_cpu_init() for processor S, then it means that this code is not really CPU specific and then it should be moved to board code. I was thinking in doing the following: --- a/arch/arm/lib/board.c +++ b/arch/arm/lib/board.c @@ -224,10 +224,15 @@ void __dram_init_banksize(void) void dram_init_banksize(void) __attribute__((weak, alias("__dram_init_banksize"))); +int __arch_cpu_init(void) +{ + return 0; +} +int arch_cpu_init(void) + __attribute__((weak, alias("__arch_cpu_init"))); + init_fnc_t *init_sequence[] = { -#if defined(CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT) arch_cpu_init, /* basic arch cpu dependent setup */ -#endif #if defined(CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F) board_early_init_f, #endif ,so that CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT is not needed anymore. Before I go further in this route to remove CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT from other places, I would like to know if this makes sense.
