Hi,

With the latest u-boot mainline from denx git, the kirkwood image old version/format are broken; Sheevaplug u-boot.kwb is no more flahsable and brick the plug.

Using an older mkimage version still work with the same u-boot binary.

u-boot (in elf loading mode) still work well also.

If I can help by some tests, please feel free to ask.

PS: I'm not on the list, thans to cc me.

Hmmm. I have no access to a mainlined Kirkwood board right now. So I can't really test right now. I added Luka to Cc, as he did some testing on this patch series a few weeks ago. And IIRC, he didn't experience any such problems with the kwimage tool.

Luka, could you perhaps take another look at it? And give the current mainline version a try on your board?

Thanks,
Stefan

I can give some tests if you want, with sheevaplugs and guruplugs.

I also have a Mirabox for testing purpose.

Ask if you need more feedbacks with some notes.

Feel free to ask.

Hi all,

I have compared the latest kwimage and the oldest one.

I have found some minor differences that make my sheevaplugs flashing and u-booting again.
