Dear Detlev
Thanks for your feedback
Yes I am doing the same code cleanup.
I am planning to remove all command line interface and the configuration needed will be provided using CONFIGs. This will make code size smaller and sdramregs.txt a standard c header file.
What do you think?

If you have further inputs those are welcomed... :-)

Thanks and regards..
