Ah, there aren't any such checks in the linker script I looked at, so I wasn't aware of this capability. I found the following in a different linker script: ASSERT(__bss_end__ <= 0xfff01000, "NAND bootstrap too big"); I agree using that technique would make sense; I'll try it out. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
