Hi All,
I started using U-Boot about 3 days ago, so apologies in advance if I have missed something obvious in the documentation.
I'm using a Metrowerks MPC8540 test board, which came pre-installed with U-Boot 1.0.1(eval-20040206-0-pre4). I suspect that this may be part of the problem i.e. that I have an old version of U-Boot burned to flash. I do not currently have the means to re-flash the board back to its current state, and so I am reluctant to try and upgrade U-Boot just yet.
I downloaded ELDK 3.1.1 and built the kernel, using make uImage. I then downloaded the uImage via TFTP to the board. Running iminfo results in "Bad Header Checksum". I ran mkimage -l to verify that there was a valid header in place, and there does seem to be.
Also, I know that there is no problem with my TFTP setup as I have been able to download and execute the "Hello World" example program.
I would appreciate any pointers on where I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance, Dale Dunlea
