hum, this is problem, I can't stored it on flash.
I want to use U-Boot itself to store it on flash.

I tried also start U-Boot from dBug:

dBUG> go 10000

U-Boot 1.1.6 (Dec  8 2006 - 17:23:16)

CPU:   Freescale Coldfire MCF5282 (PIN: 20 REV: 01)
Reset: External
MOTOROLA M5282Lite Evaluation Board
DRAM:  16 MB
Unimplemented F-Line Instruction
PC: 00FE906C SR: 2714 [t.Sm.111...XnZvc]
An: 00FF9000 00FE906C 00021B00 00FFAB00 00000000 00020000 2000FF88 00FA6F78
Dn: 00FB6F90 FFFFFFFF 00FF9000 00FB6F90 00000000 00000000 00000000 2000FFC0
00FE906C: FFFF                 DC.W      0xFFFF
dBUG>


Now I will try other approach:
I will initialize the SDRAM using commands on gdbinit, and compile
U-Boot (with define CONFIG_MONITOR_IS_IN_RAM) to 0x00000400 and start
it directly from RAM.

Do you have other suggestion?
