[RFC, PATCH] i.MX: Add provisions to boot from IRAM

Andrey Smirnov andrew.smirnov at gmail.com
Sat May 2 19:26:12 PDT 2015


This commit add a very basic code to allow Barebox to be booted from
IRAM. Given that the amount of IRAM on most i.MX variants is
insufficient to contain a copy of Barebox with any reasonable degree
of functionality this code uses IRAM only as a temporary location and
eventually bootstraps from DRAM. But the presense of the intermediate
IRAM-only stage allows to add provisions to test the area of DRAM that
Barebox would be using to facilitate various testing scenarious.
