I am not defining and publishing a format for the external world. It's just an internal information much like any other info embedded in start.S such as _bss_end_ofs, _end_ofs etc. It's just that SPL, being an insider, can take advantage of it. I feel creating a new mkimage target just for this will be an overkill. I will be happy loading the maximum image size always. best regards, Aneesh _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
