Are you adjusting these values in d_loader.h?
#define STARTOFFILETABLE (0x13FF00L)
#define STARTOFUSERFLASH (0x11F000L)
#define SIZEOFUSERFLASH (STARTOFFILETABLE - STARTOFUSERFLASH)
I've been told by folks at LEGO that if I grow the size of the firmware by
adding new features that I will need to modify these values. And the boundary
needs to be divisible by 8.
