    We didn't have problems until recent changes in the board. Now we have a problem with u-boot loading.
    We are using your M5485BFEE boards with Linux BPS m547x_8x_evb_20080811-final-ltib.iso, CF Flasher 3.1.9 and U-boot.
    Everything was ok untill tou made some changes in board's design and flash memory.
    Now attempt to write U-boot into EEPROM failes.
    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Flash U-boot 1.3.3. with CF Flasher 3.1.9. On CF Flasher's address request 0xff800000 is entered.
    2. Re-power board. Everything looks ok.
    3. Optional: add new variable(s)
    4. Enter command 'saveenv'
    5. Reboot the board

    See result on steps 4 and 5 below. How to fix it?

    -> saveenv
    Saving Environment to Flash...
    . done
    Un-Protected 1 sectors
    Erasing Flash...
    . done
    Erased 1 sectors
    Writing to Flash... Flash buffer write error at address ff802000
    Command Sequence Error.
    Block locked.
    Vpp Low Error.
    Can't write to protected Flash sectors
    . done
    Protected 1 sectors

    According to the PCN you will need to modify software to look for the new chip ID for the changed memory components.
