By the way, you reach the same behavior adding a new variable (such as "monitor_size") with the default value you want and use it in your scripts. filesize is a special variable in u-boot and it sounds odd to fix it. >> Please drop fix ip address.

Well, you will find a lot of NAK for patches that set fix IP addresses in the ML. Even if this default address is described in your documentation, what happens if two users of yours, as you say they are newbies, attach their board to the same LAN using the same "default" address ? Is it not better to explain them they need a *correct* ip address ? A default IP address simply does not exist and requires to have a "default" network (192.168.0.x), with "default" netmask... If you want to simplify the setup for your users, add dhcp. > 16MiB is the regular configuration but there are many configurations of > boards with different size of memory. > This set of parameters enables to support every boards at compilation by just > changing the value of CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_MBYTE_SYZE. > So that the binary generated is fully optimized for each board. Understood, thanks.
