Uboot size

GoogleGroups

Yesterday and today there was some discussion about uboot size at IRC [1] [2].

Yes, the ~800k size of uboot is due to uncompressed tone and logo data. Removing this results in uboot ~150k. Result (untested) and patch in attachment.

And as requested at IRC an untested version with additional move of env from 0xc0000 to 0x260000.

use uboot and x-loader from nand yet
