Probably not;  The nice thing about the V2Pro is that there is pretty
much no setup that needs to be done.  The bitstream takes care of
configuring SDRAM.  :).  For my daily work; I don't even use u-boot.=20
I'm downloading a zImage directly through my BDI 2000.  (But u-boot
does work for me too)

Can you post your xparameters file?  (Or email it to me directly)

Are you using a full UART or UART lite?

Not that I know of; I had to pile throught the same stuff to learn it.
