NOR boot menu shows: U-Boot 1.3.2-moko12 (May 9 2008 - 10:28:48) NAND boot menu shows: U-Boot 1.3.2-moko12 (Oct 7 2008 - 21:03:06) so I guess I need to update According to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/U-boot the latest bootloader binary builds can be found under http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/unstable/daily/ . Are these considered "stable" despite being in the unstable "branch"? Which version is recommended at this stage? The latest daily build (http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/unstable/daily/om-gta02/20090420/) does not contain a uboot image. The one from 20090419 does.
