[U-Boot-Users] TEXT_BASE question

Hi,
I am trying to install u-boot on my walnut board with PPC405. In file
board/walnut405/config.mk, TEXT_BASE is defined as FFFE0000. Does that mean
the u-boot.bin has to start from FFFE0000?
My problem is that on my board the address space from FFF80000 to FFFFFFFF
is reserved for a special purpose, so I can't put the u-boot.bin at
FFFE0000. But if I change the TEXT_BASE to another one, for example
FFF00000, then the u-boot.bin generated by the compiler is FFFFFFFF -
FFF00000 = 1MB. It means I still can't put the u-boot.bin to FFF00000
because it will overwrite the reserved address space anyway. I understand
that u-boot is trying to fill the gap between TEXT_BASE and the end of the
flash. So my question is:
1. If I use TEXT_BASE = FFFE0000 and simply put the u-boot.bin generated to
FFF00000, will it mess up the addressing in the u-boot?
2. If the answer for 1 is yes, how can I move up the end of flash to
FFF80000 so that the u-boot.bin will fill from FFF00000 to FFF80000 instead
of from FFF00000 to FFFFFFFF?
Thanks,
Frank
