| |
I'm looking at some sources for kernel Execute-in-place (XIP).
I see references to CONFIG_XIP_ROM and CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL, in different architecture branches of the same kernel source tree.
Is this difference merely the result of inconsistent usage, or is there a functional difference between these two options?
I can imagine that CONFIG_XIP_ROM is intended only to handle XIP in ROM, and that CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL possibly handles additional cases like XIP in flash. However, before jumping to that conclusion I thought I would ask if there is some intention behind the different config names.
Thanks,
