Sorry, I meant loading the SPL, which in some of the boot scripts are loaded from FAT still. > I think it's reasonable to require that boards supported by generic > distros have upgraded/recent U-Boots that export a standard set of > environment variables that define the various addresses, so that > boot.scr authors don't have to care about platform differences, but > rather simply use those variables. For example, kernel_addr_r, > ramdisk_addr_r, fdt_addr_r, etc. Sure, no problems with that.
