I suspect you are using a recent version but the git repo lives here: http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/ppc/sdk/boot-format.git/ boot_format expects the SD card will be formatted to it's expectation before writing to the SD card. You need to use fdisk and create a normal PC style partition and then format the one partition (not sure if it expects ext2/3 or fat32 for this). Play around with it and let me know. The other option is to just ouput a spi image from boot_format and use dd to write that image to an sdcard and it should work just the same. Let me know if you need more details. -M _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
