This is not correct. U-Boot is located where your memory map dictates
it, this can be the begining or the end or right  in  the  middle  of
your flash - depending on your hardware design.
I suggested the beginning of flash under the assumption that u-boot
would be the first code to execute.  Albert, if it is not then you
will need to have some other code at the boot location.
That's what I intended topoint out: this is hardware dependent;  some
processiors  support  low-boot  (0x100)  and  high-boot (0xFFF00100),
others  have  a  fixed  reset  vector  (0xFFFFFFFC),  and  yet  other
architectures behave differently (like ARM startin at 0x0000).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
