This series fixes a trivial build issue, as well as a longstanding problem with the 'saveenv' command on ATNGW100.
Is that the same problem that makes flash erase actions fail with the error that the start or end address does not match a sector boundary?
Yes, that's the one.
Hopefully this will make mainline u-boot useful again on AVR32. Without this fix, v2008.10 is the latest usable release.
I had a problem with this version as well when the environment was empty. It said the flash was 4Gig and kept crashing with some DMA error (NGW100 board).
Ok, I wasn't aware of that problem. I don't think I've ever tried running u-boot with empty environment; in fact, I'm not even sure how you do that since it will fall back to a default environment if it can't find anything in flash.
The patches are based on v2010.06, but it merges fine with the latest upstream master. The AVR32 master branch currently contains a workaround which I plan to revert if these patches are acceptable.
I'm happy to test them on my board. What a coincidence with my (first) mailing list post from earlier today.
That would be awesome. I don't really follow the mailing list very closely these days, so I didn't see your post.
