[U-Boot] Porting U-boot-2013-04 to sdk for mips board

[krishna dwivedi]

Hi All,

In mips,i dont see the .reloc section in u-boot.lds.But in other
architechtures(like ppc),I see in u-boot.lds:

.reloc   :
          {
            PROVIDE(_GOT2_TABLE_ = .);
            KEEP(*(.got2))
    KEEP(*(.got))
    PROVIDE(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ = . + 4);
    _FIXUP_TABLE_ = .;
    KEEP(*(.fixup))
  }
  __got2_entries = ((_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - _GOT2_TABLE_) >> 2) - 1;
  __fixup_entries = (. - _FIXUP_TABLE_) >> 2;


1)Can anyone please let me know,if we dont need to add .reloc section in
u-boot.lds for MIPS processor?

2)I am newbie to u-boot,Please anyone provide me pointers what are the
things i need to do lowlevel_init for my mips processor.



Regards,
Krishna
