[ECOS] Redboot on IMX31

["Shah, Amit" <amitshah at xgtechnology dot com>]

Hi 
I am trying to port redboot on our custom IMX31 board. I used the
Freescale patch for imx31 to build the redboot binaries under the ecos
configuration. But these binaries are not working on the board. The
hal_arm_board.cdl file has a complier option of "-mcpu=arm9". IMX31 has
an arm11 core, so I don't understand why Freescale put arm9 in the
compiler option. I tried replacing this with "-mcpu=arm1136jf-s" but it
gives me an error during the make stage. Can arm9 instructions run on an
arm11 core? Does anyone know how to get rid of this error?

Also if I use the .bin file with the arm9 option I see that my code
hangs somewhere in the 0x87f0.... region. Freescale is using rom address
of 0x87f00000 in their .ldi files. Does anyone have any information
regarding this?
