But this is exactly the point of defining  MONITOR_LENGTH:  _if_  the
environment  shall  be  embedded in the U-Boot image (ENV_IS_EMBEDDED
will be set), then MONITOR_LENGTH must be big enough to  include  the
environment;  and  if  the  environment  shall be in a separate flash
sector, then MONITOR_LENGTH must be small enough NOT to  include  the
environment.

I don't know who designed it that way (because I don't care about the
FADS board), but according to "board/fads/u-boot.lds" the environment
on this board is aligned on  a  256kB  boundary  _after_  the  U-Boot
image.  So  MONITOR_LENGTH  must  not  include  the  environment, and
ENV_IS_EMBEDDED shall not be set.


Best regards,
