Here you can store u-boot and a linux kernel as written in the u-boot manual. For a root fs, the space is not very big... Another possibility is, to use the serial dataflash for everything, which is 8Mb. This procedure seems to be unsupported by u-boot, since it copies u-boot from serial dataflash to RAM and starts it, but it works for me. Initialization of processor and RAM ist done in this case by a pre-bootloader (romboot). The procedure is described here: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc6067.pdf Best regards Peter
