[U-Boot] decompile u-boot.bin file

Hey,
have this iriver cover story. would like to hack the damn thing, since it's linux based and could do some work. add some options, delete others. have gotten the firmware decompressed from a EB05.HEX file to a very nice extended directory. the rootfs.cramfs is also decompressed. just leaves me the few files, *.feb -> unknown format the zImage and the u-boot.bin
could any of you here help me out with the u-boot.bin? kind regards,

Hi there ShinSham,
Best bet is to contact the device manufacturer and ask for the U-Boot source code. As it is GPL, they are legally obliged to provide it to you. They are actually required to provide you with either the source when you obtained the device, or a reliable means of obtaining the source (typically a URL to a source archive). Check out the device packaging, any help screens the device has or the website. Failing that, email them.
If they fob you off, remind them of their GPL obligations.
Regards,
Graeme

U-Boot is GPL, ask for source code.
