@ -5587,15 +5587,17 @@ On ARM, the following registers are used:
R0: function argument word/integer result
R1-R3: function argument word
R9: GOT pointer
R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
R9: platform specific
R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
R11: argument (frame) pointer
R12: temporary workspace
R13: stack pointer
R14: link register
R15: program counter
==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
