I'll comment if the patch is out (going through my mail one at a time) but I just want to chime in on C contexts: I'd rather have this done only once and from crt0.S. If this means crt0.S must do the call to lowlevel_init, then so be it IMO. > -- > Tom Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
