Hi
Why does most of the existing configurations use
such addresses as:
For passing boot_params
gd->bd->bi_boot_params = PHYS_SDRAM + 0x100;
Why + 0x100 and not just PHYS_SDRAM?
Similarly for Linux kernel load address
PHYS_SDRAM + 0x8000
Why + 0x8000?
I think by doing this the following areas are
unused, please correct me if I am wrong.
PHYS_SDRAM to PHYS_SDRAM+0x100
PHYS_SDRAM+0x100+boot_param_len to PHYS_SDRAM+0x8000
Just want to make sure if I am missing something.
Best regards
Iram
