Hello James,

I have ported uBoot to our adapted version of the MPC8260ADS board. I just changed the MPC8260ADS board config to suit our needs. The problem that I am having is that any with image that I try to boot ( Yes I have used mkimage) I just get "Bad Magic Number". I cannot think of anything else to try. I cannot get it to recognise any images produced by mkimage at all. I have tried most versions from 0.4.0 through 0.4.7 and all produce the same result.

What could I be doing wrong?

Do the image files you created really contain the magic number in the first 4 bytes? You can check that fact like this:

[dzu]$ dd if=/tftpboot/uImage bs=4 count=1 | od -t x1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 0000000 27 05 19 56 0000004 [dzu]$

A bit useless on a public mailing list....
