Hi Andrew, you can not load u-boot directly through uart because the uart load goes to internal ram which simply isn't big enough. You need a second level boot loader which fits in internal ram and than loads u-boot to external ram. Rudy has provided such a beast here (check the archives, about last August).
Further, you neeed to compile u-boot without low level initialization (already done by second level boot loader) and without relocation from flash to ram (it is alreday loded to ram....). You can do this in the config file (davinci.h) he following does the trick for me: /* for Ram load version do not do low level init and do not relocate */ #undef CONFIG_INIT_CRITICAL #define CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT /* #define CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT not needed, tested by boot code */ I use a newer version of u-boot here (1.1.6), but this should also work for the older version. When I find the time to clean up my code I'll send a patch for some actual u-boot for davinci here. Maybe within the next two weeks.
