How about to try and change the base to 0xA0000000 ? #define CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE 0x00000000 That could help some on how to get the env address set ok.. Not sure of this would break the #define CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE ____________________________________________________ Eirik Aanonsen SW Developer E-mail: [email protected] Phone: +47 90 68 11 92 Fax: +47 37 03 56 77 ____________________________________________________
