<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm reading over CVS Revision 1.6 of u-boot/u-boot/cpu/ppc4xx/spd_sdram.c and I have a question. Way down at almost the bottom of the function program_tr1() about where the rdclt_average is being calculated, there's a while loop that seems curious to me:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">rdclt_average = ((max_start + max_end) >> 1); </FONT>
<BR><B><FONT COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Times New Roman">if</FONT></B><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"> (rdclt_average >= 0x60)</FONT>
<BR> <B> <FONT COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Times New Roman">while</FONT></B><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">(1); </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Does anyone know the reason for this, why 0x60 and why a seemingly silent hang?</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Thanks.</FONT>
