Hello,

         I tried to build a new linuxbios.rom with fallback and the file size ( 1 Mb ) got larger than flash size (512Kb). Follows the /targets/digitallogic/msm8sel/Config.lb content, I set ROM_SIZE to 521 Kb .


target msm800sev
mainboard digitallogic/msm800sev

option CONFIG_COMPRESSED_PAYLOAD_NRV2B=0

option ROM_SIZE = 1024*512

## ROM_IMAGE_SIZE is the maximum number of bytes allowed for a LinuxBIOS image,
## not including any payload.
option ROM_IMAGE_SIZE=64*1024

option DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL = 11
option MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL = 11

romimage "normal"
        option USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE=0
        option ROM_IMAGE_SIZE=64*1024
        option LINUXBIOS_EXTRA_VERSION=".0Normal"
        payload /home/otavio/Filo/filo-0.5/filo.elf
end

romimage "fallback"
        option USE_FALLBACK_IMAGE=1
        option ROM_IMAGE_SIZE=64*1024
        option LINUXBIOS_EXTRA_VERSION=".0Fallback"
        payload /home/otavio/Filo/filo-0.5/filo.elf
end

buildrom ./linuxbios.rom ROM_SIZE  "normal" "fallback"

The linuxbios.rom is 521 Kb, just like the flash. I didn't know fallback is a must to, I'll try a new rom with fallback.
Thanks,

did you pad the image to the flash size?

You have to have fallback. If you want only one image you need to drop
normal. Normal alone cannot work.
