Hi ML, I'm working to have a small but also full-featured u-boot bootloader. The idea, that I already see on lantiq sources, is to have a small bootstrap code that decompresses the final u-boot.
The code is divided into two stages: 1) bootstrap: initializes the ram in order to decompress the u-boot binary. After that, bootstrap jumps to final u-boot 2) 2) u-boot: the state of the art of the boot loaders. Can be interesting for you to have these pieces of code? I ask before to send any patch, because the boards to support the bootstrap code should define some symbols (CONFIG_BOOTSTRAP_*) and provides a linker script, and the lowlevel init code for the ram.
