The following is a list of files and features that are going to be |
|
|
|
|
removed from the U-Boot source tree. Every entry should contain what |
|
|
|
|
exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed, |
|
|
|
|
and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed |

and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed |
|
|
|
|
from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this |
|

file. |

What: CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC option |
|
|
|
|
When: After Release 2011.03 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why: The implementation of U-Boot for the ARM architecture has |
|
|
|
|
been reworked to support relocation. This allows to |
|
|
|
|
efficiently use the same U-Boot binary image on systems with |
|
|
|
|
different RAM sizes, and brings the implementation much more |
|
|
|
|
in line with the code used for example on Power Architecture |
|
|
|
|
systems (eventually allowing to merge into common code). This |
|
|
|
|
seems especailly interesting now that ARM is getting Device |
|
|
|
|
Tree support as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All ARM boards need to be adapted to this new code, which |
|
|
|
|
requires testing on the actual hardware, so this is a task |
|
|
|
|
for the respective board maintainers or other users. |

Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC will be removed |
|
|
|
|
after release v2011.03; all boards that have not been |
|
|
|
|
converted by then, i. e. that are still broken then, are |
|
|
|
|
considered unmaintained and without interest for the |
|
|
|
|
community and will be removed as well. |
