U-Boot uses only before relocation the sp @CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR. This is for example for boards, which boots from NOR flash, and they have no working RAM before relocation. So Stackpointer should be setup in some none SDRAM. After relocation, Stackpointer is setup in SDRAM, and CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR is not longer used. bye, Heiko -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
