commit ab8be711a019cf2f329143551c7b87e35a1b2547 Author: Alexandru Gagniuc mr.nuke.me@gmail.com Date: Sun Dec 22 18:51:29 2013 -0500
cpu/allwinner/a10: Clear the usage of SRAM during the bootblock
We have 32KiB of usable SRAM right when we boot. The first 24KiB can be loaded with our bootblock, while the other 8KiB can be used as stack during the bootblock stage.
