Hi people,

Thanks for the help so far, I have successfully managed to patch and compile U-Boot for a Sharp LH7A400 board. Below is a listing of files from my system (bin, srec, etc)

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root   root   91692 Jun 18 09:22 u-boot.bin
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root   root  275178 Jun 18 09:22 u-boot.srec

I am unable to load and run the image on the board. I tried sending the srec file over a serial connection to the board and them jumping to that image and that failed.

I then tried to load the .bin file as an elf file and the transfer failed as well.

Any ideas on the problem?

Thanks in advance

Devraj

I consider it discourteous or even rude that you post the same question without cross-reference to several mailing lists (here, and linux-arm).

It would definitely help if you add some information which tools you use for the download, i.e. are you doing this with some pre-loaded other type of boot loader, or using a BDI200, or what?

Best regards,
