Proper kernel load address

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517

Using the Logicpd AM3517 Experimenter kit..

I see references online for loading the kernel into memory location 0x82000000 and some that load into 0x80000000.   I have used both and both seem to work.  Is there a reason to choose one over the other?

  • It is really system dependent.  Typically folks load the kernel in one location, file system in another, etc, just to give some structure to the memory map of the system.  But actual locations are arbitrary depending on how much space you need for each component.
