Lol, I sense some hostility.
Sorry, but it was definitely NOT my intention to be, or even to sound, hostile.
Which would be well founded, but I have already tried this.
I didn't - mea culpa.
In any case, the referenced document appears to be the old README.Coldfire that is included with RTAI patch. I didn't remember it having u-boot stuff in it, but I may have just forgotten. I'll dig into it tomorrow.
Bernhard's patch which included the README was posted on the uclinux-dev and u-boot-users mailing lists on 30 Dec 2003. Please find attached below a copy of the README.

Reading through the README.coldfire document I can see that the recommended approach for installing u-boot is to download it to RAM through the BDM, then use it to burn itself through flash.
However, since we are planning on going into full production with this new 5282 board, I could probably get the engineering dept. to swing the $169 bucks to buy the ProgCFZ flash programming software from P&E(we already have a couple wigglers). I'm thinking this would save us significant programming time on the production side, as we could just have techs flash in u-boot one after another.
What do you think, is it worth it? Is anyone else using this software?
thx, NZG.

NO!!! This may be what the README.coldfire says, but it is NOT the recommended way. See http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/CanUBootBeConfiguredSuchThatItCanBeSt...
