Hi Stefano,
I have cloned yesterday http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git on to my local machine and from there selected the v2011.12-rc3 tag. Then I configured the mx53loco board and successfully build u-boot.imx, copied the image to a SD card and powered it up. What I then got on the serial port terminal was as follows:
U-Boot 2011.12-00201-g137703b (Feb 03 2012 - 11:12:00)
CPU: Freescale i.MX53 family rev2.1 at 800 MHz
Reset cause: POR

At this point, having printed Net: the program hags.
I must say that I am a newbie here but I was able to successfully build and launch the same u-boot.imx image on my i.MX53 Quick Start Board, having obtained the source tree via:
wget ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-2011.12.tar.bz2. As per instructions I also had to apply the following patches:
* 0001-mx53loco-enable-ext-support.patch
* 0002-mx53loco-use-part-1.patch
* 0001-net-eth.c-fix-eth_write_hwaddr-to-use-dev-enetaddr-a.patch
The patches were obtained via wget https://raw.github.com/RobertCNelson/Bootloader-Builder//aster/patches/ https://raw.github.com/RobertCNelson/Bootloader-Builder/aster/patches/ ...
I also, applied the same patches on the my v2011.12-rc3 tag but the resulting build .imx image gave the same output (as above)
Is it possible that I did not get the correct tag?
Any other ideas?
Cheers,
Bud Miljkovic
