IIRC the da850evm ROM needs a special tool to load via UART. omap4/5/am33xx ROM does XMODEM for real so 'sx' works fine.

In theory, sure, just need a location to place it at. -- Tom _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
