I haven't had an OpenRD in years but back then I always used the original u-boot without any problems. Why do you think a new u-boot is required for jessie? Have you tried it and things are not working? (After jessie, the kernel has been converted to DTB, but flash-kernel already appends the correct DTB.) > 1) Where to get a suitable u-boot image?

I just checked and I was going to say that there's support for the Base in DENX. However, I noticed that even the Ultimate target was removed in Debian's u-boot recently: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/u-boot.git/commit/debian/targets?id=ea2f6ce84b7788cda2cb7deb29690cb368451e8c So if you want to work out why it doesn't build and whether it boots, I'm sure Vagrant Cascadian would be interested in hearing from you; but it's probably easier to stay with the original u-boot unless that has problems. Unfortunately, it seems there aren't many OpenRD users left. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
