btw, from my experience, the same issue will probably occur again in future, especially when the current U-Boot size is already close to the defined limit (yes, with this patch it will be reported during compile time, but still). Have you considered adjusting the boot image layout instead (moving CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET, so unlikely U-Boot image will overlap again) to tackle feature problems? -- Best regards - Freundliche Grüsse - Meilleures salutations Igor Opaniuk Senior Software Engineer, Embedded & Security E: igor.opan...@foundries.io W: www.foundries.io
