Description

Currently,' we're still using 0x33f80000 as TEXT_BASE. This has historical
reasons, since GTA01v3 and GTA01v4 had only 64MB.

However, if we move TEXT_BASE up to 0x37f80000, this gives us way more space to
e.g. load an entire 64MB flash image from microSD and then flash it to NAND in
one go.

Any news on this topic?
board/neo1973/config.mk still has a FIXME with the new value for TEXT_BASE

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to wontfix

mh, I think now it is too late to really fix this for GTA01. People have just
gotten used to the fact, and this kind of change would introduce changes in the
way how lowlevel_foo.bin is operated.
