Another issue is that the nand_spl might be compiled and flashed to the NAND as a separate entity, using a separate flashing mechanism. If we use the dynamic calculation of the u-boot size, this would necessitate building and flashing the nand_spl each time along with u-boot. -sughosh _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
