[microblaze-uclinux] u-boot error 'end address not on sector boundary' on ml403

[Aleksandar Sutic <asutic@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello again,

After successfully starting u-boot on ml403 board, I've encountered a problem with ub.config.img script. Here's what I have so far:

Error: end address not on sector boundary

Actually, this is similar to the problem described in http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~listarch/microblaze-uclinux/archive/2007/04/msg00018.html. I've checked the flash partition table, but it seems to be OK. Moreover, my ub.config.img file is similar to hardware/reference-designs/pre-built/Xilinx-ML401-ll_temac-sgdma-MMU-edk101/images/ub.config-2.6.img, for example (shown bellow).

Could anyone point me to the solution of this problem, especially guys who have already installed PetaLinux on an ML403 board?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,
Aleksandar
