Hi there,

and sorry if this is a real stupid question now:

I am a little bit confused:

Apparently there is linux for processors with a MMU and uClinux for MMU-less processors.

But does that matter for u-boot?

Does u-boot care about the MMU?

Can u-boot boot uClinux as well?

I am a little bit confused...

Thanks a million,

Steven

The more we disagree, the more chance there is that at least  one  of
us is right.

No, the MMU is disabled in U-Boot anyway, so I see no reason why it should not work.
