From 9ad996adcc135bc34b185957567c8c46deb90d4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Robert P. J. Day" Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2019 08:00:48 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] doc: delete long-obsolete README.ARM-memory-map As far back as 2011, "_armboot_start" was being described as "no longer defined": commit 297f18ac0fbeef30ba1c17fe131ca75f09a6e7cf Author: Greg Ungerer Date: Fri Sep 9 22:23:34 2011 +1000 CM4000: fix broken flash base for OpenGear boards Use _bss_start_ofs as the size of the boot loader code+data that we want to protect in the flash. This replaces use of the no longer defined _armboot_start. --- doc/README.ARM-memory-map | 17 ----------------- 1 file changed, 17 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 doc/README.ARM-memory-map diff --git a/doc/README.ARM-memory-map b/doc/README.ARM-memory-map deleted file mode 100644 index 1b120ac3e1..0000000000 --- a/doc/README.ARM-memory-map +++ /dev/null @@ -1,17 +0,0 @@ -Subject: Re: [PATCH][CFT] bring ARM memory layout in line with the documented behaviour -From: "Anders Larsen" -Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 14:15:21 +0200 -To: Wolfgang Denk - -... ->I still see references to _armboot_start, _armboot_end_data, and ->_armboot_end - which role do these play now?
