Perhaps we decide to place something there in future. For example, `ccmp x18, #0, #0xd, pl` is a fancy nop whose first 2 bytes are the ELF/PE magic 'MZ' when read in little-endian. For now, I left it as normal nops. The .org 20 below is not (only) for alignment, but as a sanity check, if we add too much code here. >> + adr x9, __pbl_board_stack_top >> + ldr w9, [x9] >> + cbz x9, 1f >> + mov sp, x9 >> + b 1f >> + .org 0x20 >> + .asciz "barebox" >> + .word 0xffffffff >> + .word _barebox_image_size /* image size to copy */ >> + .rept 8 >> + .word 0x55555555 >> + .endr >> +1: >> +#ifdef CONFIG_PBL_BREAK >> + brk #17 >> + nop >> +#else >> + nop >> + nop >> +#endif > > Why do you jump over the barebox header?
