<P><SPAN LANG="zh-cn"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am studying the LinuxBios project. I have a question about the RAM code: from Makefile, it seems that LinuxBios could load codes from FLASH to RAM twice, first for linuxbios_ram, second for so-called payload. My understanding is correct or not. However, also from Makefile, it seems that linuxbios is dependent on LINUXBIOS_RAM_ROM, but doesn't include it. The below is abstracted from a Makefile:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="zh-cn"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">linuxbios: crt0.o $(INIT-OBJECTS) $(LINUXBIOS_APC) $(LINUXBIOS_RAM_ROM) ldscript.ld</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="zh-cn"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">$(CC) -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static -o $@ -T ldscript.ld crt0.o $(INIT-OBJECTS)</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="zh-cn"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">$(CROSS_COMPILE)nm -n linuxbios | sort > linuxbios.map.</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="zh-cn"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So, there is no action on LINUXBIOS_RAM_ROM. Does it mean linuxbios_ram is not very important. Even without it, the system is also ok?</FONT></SPAN></P>
