Hi Scott,

well, I&#39;ve done the following:

- I programmed the u-boot.bin in flash memory using the flash programmer at the user space of the flash (0x400000).

- u-boot works fine but when I type flinfo this is what I get 

==> flinfo
Bank#  1:   Size: 0 KB in 0 Sectors
  Sector Start Addresses:
==>

- when I try to save my variables with saveenv: 

==> saveenv
Saving Environment to Flash...
Error: start address not on sector boundary
==>

Besides, I feel confused between Flash and SDRAM adresses, I can&#39;t even decide what adresses to submit to mkimage, is the adress I&#39;ve programmed u-boot at is suitable and how u-boot proceeds to boot a kernel and a FS images.

All adresses matter is troubling me.

So if you could explain me that I&#39;m gonna be thankful.

PS. I&#39;m using a Stratix Pro 1s40 board

Warm Regards
