Hi
this is a rediff/resend of a patch from August 2002
the edb7212 has 16Megs of flash but it's not contiguous
fi init -f overwrites redboot because it wraps after 8Megs.
the patch correctly sets the limits of the two blocks
sets the flash size to 16 in the linker script and changes an #if to #ifdef
to avoid a gcc warning
I _would_ be happy to apply this, although I would have thought this would
have been picked up in testing before, when we are all still in Red Hat.
Gary, any opinions?
I also note the patch doesn't have a ChangeLog, and omits to patch the
.mlt file similarly (it's easy to guess how), but I can fix that up before
it's committed if Jani doesn't get back to me before Gary does.
I think these patches are fine. Note that we were never able
to really test RedBoot on the 7211 hardware that Jani is making
changes for - we only had working 7212 boards - so that's probably
why we never saw this problem.
Exactly :-). This is the 7212 we're talking about. Hence my query.
