... snip ... after painstaking reading of every alleged set of boot instructions i could find online, i simply reformatted another SD card with a first partition of FAT16, copied a pre-built BOOT.BIN from the net and, viola, it booted to u-boot. apparently, ninth time is a charm. go figure. one final favour ... i've found the instructions to create my own BOOT.BIN but, in the meantime, can anyone point me at a *recent* build? the one i downloaded is some kind of old: zed-boot> version U-Boot 2011.03-dirty (Jul 11 2012 - 16:07:00) arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2011.09-50) 4.6.1 GNU ld (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2011.09-50) 2.21.53.20110905 if anyone can provide a link to a far more recent BOOT.BIN, all i care about is booting to u-boot -- for the moment, i have no interest in booting to linux. i'll take care of that on my own. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
