[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 04/12] SPL: Add NOR flash booting support

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de
Mon Aug 27 12:50:59 CEST 2012


SPL NOR flash booting support is quite simple. Only copying of the
images is needed.

On MPC5xxx we need to make sure to only use the standard memcpy()
implementation and not the MPC5xxx specific one. As the MPC5xxx
version has some complexity which is not needed for this SPL
booting.

Changes in v2:
- Add option to skip copying of the mkimage header
