You should start by preparing an inventory of what board you actually
have, which processor is on it, what's  the  flah  configuration  is,
etc.

That's not weird, it's what's to be expected as result of erratic and
unsystematic actions. Please try to understand  your  hardware  first
before making any adaptions of the configuration.

Don't you think that it might have been helpful if you  had  included
the precise text of the warning in your posting?

Also, it should be fairly trivial to have a look at  your  board  and
read which type is printed on the processor.

How could we know? Do we have access to your hardware, or who has? 

Best regards,
