I've figured out most of the boot process by following through the code, but
I have a few questions about start.S:
1. Calls to RVECENT and XVEVENT: what exactly do these do? RVECENT just
branches to the first parameter f, and does nothing with the second
parameter. Yet the first argument passed is romReserved which is defined:
> romReserved:
> b romReserved
Isn't that just an infinite loop?
2. What are these for?:
> #ifdef CONFIG_PURPLE
> /* 0xbfc00400 */
> .word 0xdc870000
> .word 0xfca70000
> .word 0x20840008....etc..
The rest seems pretty straightforward, just some processor specific things I
need to research.
