Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.  My uImage checksum for uImage-r2borph3 agrees with
yours.  I do not have any uImage-current, and do not understand why there
would be two uImages.  I will assume you are running two different ROACH2
versions and that I should be using only the uImage-r2borph3 one, but
please correct me if not.

I have the u-boot.bin (with the same checksum), but am not using it.  I am
confused about what steps I need to take, and thought I could just follow
the same procedure for ROACH-1, but do I first have to update the u-boot as
in these instructions?

I actually tried it, but our network seems to be down at the moment.  What
about romfs?  Is this only needed for soloboot?

Thanks,
Dale
