I was confused about how to select the right starting PC value -- when loading a kernel image, the code wanted to set the PC to the kernel entry point, but otherwise it wanted to use the reset vector. That "worked" because the kernel loading code set the PC after the reset vector was loaded from ROM. With your advice, I've made the hardware layer register the reset handler which just calls cpu_reset and then sets the initial PC value, either from the loaded kernel or using the reset vector contents. So much cleaner and "obviously" doing what we want. -- -keith
