Hello All,

          I am compiling u-boot version 1.1.0 for SC520_CDP

board. I ma trying to compile on a P.C with redhat version 9 and the tools provided along with it.Compilation is sucessful after few errors being handles. I ma running the command "make u-boot.bin" to get binary file. The out file sizes are as follows.

u-boot - 60442 bytes u-boot.bin - 947911360 bytes. u-boot.map - 116152 bytes.

This is really confusing since we get the raw binary by running the "objcopy" tool on the ELF format file u-boot.

It might be instructive to see my missive earlier this month:
