Hello everyone,
i am trying to run linux on realview_eb_mpcore.
I read some articles about how to port linux and uboot to a new board,
according to the article, when I am porting the uboot, i should modify
a file called lowlevel_init.c , which is in the fold
board/realview_eb. this file describes the memory partition of the
board. but in the realview_eb , this file doesn't do this job.
anyone can tell me , where is it done?
without doing this, the file system can be booted or not?
any comments are appreciated.
regards,
yang
Hi Gavin,
yes, the file lowlevel_init. c is under board/xxx,
but for the board realview-eb this files doesn't contain anything but
a dummy funtion. that is why I am wondering where is the board memory
partitioin done .
thanks,
any new comments?
regards,
yang

u-boot/board/realview_eb/lowlevel_init.S
this is the exact path for the file.
