[U-Boot-Users] malloc error

[Kevin A. Sapp]

Wolfgang,

Thank you for the response.
My target will have 256M of RAM and I
can locate das u-boot anywhere in this range so
that it is not overwritten during the Linux boot process.

Would the top of RAM be a better choice then?
If das u-boot is not viable after Linux is started
that is fine, the system will re-download das u-boot
when required.

Thanks
Kevin
