Hi Fundu, Please bottom post. Run "${CROSS_COMPILE}objdump -h u-boot" and you will see that there are lots of non-loaded segments (symbols, etc.) in there. Run "${CROSS_COMPILE}strip -s u-boot -o=u-boot.strip" and you will see that u-boot.strip is approximately the same size as u-boot.bin. NOTE: I would *NOT* recommend stripping the ELF file unless you have a real need to do so. gvb ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ U-Boot-Users mailing list U-Boot-Users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/u-boot-users
