From: Paul Gortmaker Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:10:55 +0000 (-0400) Subject: sbc8349: combine HRCW flash and u-boot image flash X-Git-Tag: v2009.08-rc2~42^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://git.sur5r.net/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fe613cdd4eb2c5b257a60d8dfb7759742318c28a;p=u-boot sbc8349: combine HRCW flash and u-boot image flash Up to this point in time, the sbc8349 board was storing the u-boot image in flash 2x. One for the HRCW value at the beginning of flash (0xff80_0000), and once close to the end of flash (0xfff8_0000) for the actual image that got executed. This moves the TEXT_BASE to be the beginning of flash, which makes the second copy of the image redundant, and frees up the flash from the end of the environment storage to the end of the flash device itself.
