The hardest part I have identify on microblaze was about u-boot
variables. Because based on information from device-tree you can choose
where variables should be stored and also this memory should be
accessible before u-boot try to read variables. It mean in very early
state.
Device initialization before relocation is already hard enough;
resources are very limited then. You will add the additional need to
have the FDT library available then, too. Not to mention that you
need to load the DT blob, too.
This will be a lot of added complexity.
Do you have any timeframe for this work?
Or any expectation when this work should be merged to mainline?
6 months, 2 releases ... or so. We booted it as a university project to maximize
the gain.
ok. Sounds good. Do you have any repo somewhere?
I would like to look at it.
Thanks,
Michal
