This seems to be an extension of the work I did for OMAP4. So, I shall respond for the code I had added.

The main purpose was to compile out the exception handlers and related code down below, that would not be much needed in SPL. In the absence of these handlers I wanted spin-loops in the vector so that we get some debugging hints with JTAG debuggers. > >> .global _end_vect >> _end_vect: [snip ..] >> +#endif /* #ifdef CONFIG_PRELOADER */ > > ok to mark this #endif, but do not use '/* #ifdef', it looks like > commented out ifdef.

But > shouldn't this be some #ifdef CONFIG_USE_IRQ instead of CONFIG_PRELOADER? Not just IRQ but all exception handelrs. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
