I don't understand this, though. Option (b) is probably painful
to implement (I don't have a good idea of how to do it) but
it ought to mean that the ELF files that work on the board
also work for QEMU (regardless of how the board model
implemented the aliased flash).
Yes that's exactly what I want.
Basically the 0x00000000 alias can point to the SRAM or the ROM
during the reset depending on some boot config. The ELF is
directly loaded in the ROM or in the SRAM and my patch allows to
fetch the two first words in the reset handler to make it work
for any boot config.
Yes, but it only works if you implemented it that way
round, and not for board implementations which put the
real device at 0 and the alias at high memory. I'd like a fix
which deals with all of this, not just with the particular
arrangement your board implementation has.
