[U-Boot] [PATCH] sunxi/spl: Detect at runtime where SPL was read from

Daniel Kochmański dkochmanski at turtle-solutions.eu
Thu May 28 10:43:20 CEST 2015


This patch makes possible using single `u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin` binary
for both NAND memory and SD card. Detection where SPL was read from is
implemented in `spl_boot_device`.

Detection is performed only if `CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT` is defined. Unless
SD card contains valid signature we assume, that SPL was read from NAND.
