That depends on your goals. We once discussed how to fail over to a initram/stage2/payload downloaded via serial. That can take a lot of time. I seem to remember that some power button control on some Geode boards has to be done in the first 4 seconds after poweron. That timing constraint will bite us when downloading over serial. Of course, if I'm wrong (or we can perform failsafe powerbutton control in stage 1), discard my objection.
right, but the enable ENABLES the timeout. Safest thing to do is wait until stage 2 at least to enable such things. I.e. later.
Although I see your point now. Sigh. mainboard_pre_payload?
We're finding that the device tree needs to span stage1 to mainboard_pre_payload, now. We had not planned for this. We're going to have to rethink it a bit.
If we do this it will clean a lot of things up.
Good work for denver.
