Dear Simon Kagstrom,
In message 20090904083003.3f7f0d1f@marrow.netinsight.se you wrote:
Understandable. On the other hand, it should be possible to pad the U-boot image to some specific size to keep the size constant. Typically to the erase size.
This makes no sense. Why would such padding be needed? It only adds overhead everywhere where the image needs to be processed, stored, downloaded, programmed, etc.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
