[U-Boot-Users] Error: end address not on sector boundary

[U-Boot-Users] Error: end address not on sector boundary

[Hurricane555]

Hello I?m using a Am29LV160B FLASH with a size of 4MB. My problem is, that I
can?t using the option saveenv. Writing and deleteting of FLASH is no
problem.

My settings are follows:

....


#define PHYS_FLASH_SIZE		0x000400000 /* 4 MB */
#define CFG_MAX_FLASH_SECT	(35)	/* max number of sectors on one chip */
#define CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS 1 /* Max # of flash banks */
#define CFG_ENV_ADDR		(CFG_FLASH_BASE) /* addr of environment*/
//#undef  CFG_FLASH_CHECKSUM
#define CFG_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT    1024000 /* Flash Erase Timeout (ms) */
#define CFG_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT    500     /* Flash Write Timeout (ms) */



#define CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH         1
#define ENV_IS_EMBEDDED
//#define CFG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
#define CFG_ENV_OFFSET          0x8000  /* Offset of the Environment Sector  
*/
#define CFG_ENV_SIZE            0x4000  /* Size of the Environment Sector   
*/

....


What I?m doing wrong?

[U-Boot-Users] Error: end address not on sector boundary

[Hurricane555]

Now I changed my settings as follows:


#define PHYS_FLASH_SIZE		0x000400000 /* 4 MB */
#define CFG_MAX_FLASH_SECT	(35)	/* max number of sectors on one chip */
#define CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS 1 /* Max # of flash banks */
#define CFG_ENV_ADDR		(CFG_FLASH_BASE) /* addr of environment*/
//#undef  CFG_FLASH_CHECKSUM
#define CFG_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT    1024000 /* Flash Erase Timeout (ms) */
#define CFG_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT    500     /* Flash Write Timeout (ms) */



#define CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH         1
#define ENV_IS_EMBEDDED
//#define CFG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
#define CFG_ENV_OFFSET          0x8000  /* Offset of the Environment Sector  
*/
#define CFG_ENV_SIZE            0x2000  /* Size of the Environment Sector   
*/

Now I can make saveenv, but after restart the bootloader is damaged!

	This is mine:

#define CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH     1
#define CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE       0x40000     /* 256K (one sector) for env */
#define CFG_ENV_SIZE            CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE
#define CFG_ENV_ADDR            0xffe00000

	I have a 256KB sized-sector flash, u-boot (512KB) at 0xFFF80000 
	(at the end of flash) and the environment at 0xFFE00000 (1 sector).


> Now I can make saveenv, but after restart the bootloader is damaged!

	This probably means that you're setting your environment to
	overlap u-boot's flash area. Check your memory map and (re-)read
	the file README in u-boot's root directory about the environment's
	configuration defines.

Hmmmm.... I see what my mistake was! 
My ENV was on the same address like U-BOOT!


U-BOOT is now on address 50000000. The ENV on 50010000!

I checked this address and I was clear! No data was on it, so I thougt I
could use the section for my ENV. But when I make saveenv the bootloader is
dead!? Why?

According to the above, your sector size is 0x40000 (256K) but you 
stored your ENV at u-boot + 0x10000 (64K) which is in the same sector as 
u-boot.  When you erased your ENV area, you inadvertently erased u-boot 
as well since it is all in one sector.

	You are putting u-boot at the start of flash (50000000) and
	the env at 50010000? Your u-boot has less than 64Kb?
