Hello Wolfgang Thanks for answering. Good to see that mkimage would be ok with both versions.
What do I fear ? I traditionnaly saw many problems of version coherence between binaries and tools generating them. Now I prefer to ask.
Concerning the #define, I made a mistake when recopying.
this should be OK.
#define CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE SZ_128K /* Env sector Size = 128KB*/ #define CFG_ENV_SIZE SZ_128K /* 128KB is 1-Block size without counting spare*/
Concerning the size of 128KB. Obviously it is too much. I think it too. But reading the README file, here is what I read:
Note: CFG_ENV_OFFSET and CFG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned to a block boundary, and CFG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of the NAND devices block size.
Since my sectors/blocks are 128KB, I must be at least 128KB!
Is the README file wrong ? Thanks for your help. Reda

Dear Reda MIMOUNE,
In message 1918F436C366B34BB245DD28389E039453ADFAAD25@mars.easii.fr you wrote:
Have a question about it, if I upgrade to a new version of uBoot. Is it guaranteed that mkimage will wrap the uboot binary the same way. Is mkimage the same version ?
Of course mkimage is not the same version. When upgrade to a new version of U-Boot, you also get a new version of mkimage.
If yes, I think I will upgrade.
Where would you expect problems? You can build and test the new version of mkimage before updating the U-Boot image on your target board.
And you can keep the old mkimage tool around for reference as well.
Of course, I understood that. My question was in the config file. I put this:
#define CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE SZ_16K #define CFG_ENV_SIZE SZ_128K
This makes no sense. I doubt that your NAND flash has 16 kB sectors.
Also I seriously doubt that you need 128 kB for environment.
I saw something equivalent in the Evalution board of Davinci DM365 so it should not be impossible.
Please do not copy code without thinking.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
