[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 2/7] SPL: Port SPL framework to powerpc

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de
Tue Oct 23 10:28:30 CEST 2012


This patch enables the SPL framework to be used on powerpc platforms
and not only ARM.

timer_init() does not exist on PPC systems. The timer (decrementer) is
initialized and enabled in interrupt_init() here. And currently
interrupt_init() is called after relocation to SDRAM. Since the only
powerpc SPL implementation (a3m071) doesn't need a timer, let's remove
this timer_init() call for PPC systems.

Changes in v5:
- Remove timer_init() for PPC systems

Changes in v4:
- Build spl.o only for SPL image

Changes in v2:
- Rebased on Tom's SPL framework patches v4
- Add option to skip copying of the mkimage header
