Hi all,

i am newbee in Linux PPC. i have problem with my lite5200 board. previously
it has been installed with uboot. but now i dont receive any message from
uboot in the serial line (serial line is ok with 115200 bps - tested).

how can i re-flash the uboot inside the MPC5200? i use bdi2000, compiled the
new uboot version 1.1.6 but didnt find out anyway to flash it inside the
controller.

thanks for the hint,

You are off topic here. Please post U-Boto related questions on the
U-Boot maioling list.

New? 1.1.6? That's stone-age.

Current U-Boot is 1.3.0-rc4. Please wake up.

Best regards,

How should people get a glue what's current, when in the section
"Latest News" at http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot/ the people
still find a more or less official looking "u-boot-1.1.5" release.
(And they don't want to use scm repositories because they are afraid
of using anything unstable.)

Well... maybe it's better to remove all references to the old
releases at sourceforge and point them to ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/
instead. Btw. 1.3.0-rc4 isn't there as well. :-P

Maybe by reading the very first two lines on the SF page:

	...
        NOTE: current source code is available from DENX git
        repository and FTP server; see http://www.denx.de/en/Software/GIT

or by looking at the project page http://u-boot.sourceforge.net/ which
redirects you to http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot which has all the
significant information?

The problem is that you cannot really "shut down" a SourceForge
project (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I guess there is no real cure for this. [Same people will happily
download any temproray test version from a FTP server, though.]

Can you please teach me how to do that?

Indeed. But there is a "snapshot" link on the gitweb page...

And 1.3.0 will be out in less than 2 hours from now :-)

I tried to convince you to point them to the releases... and _not_
to any repository.

I don't like SourceForge for some reasons... now, if that's true,
I got one more. But anyway, there should be a way to update the
"Latest News"... in a way it points to current stuff.

I would expect that one of the project admins (i.e. you) is able
to update the site information.
You could update the SF project as you did since u-boot-0.2.0.
If you don't want to continue with SF, propably an update to
a "last SF version" with nothing more than an README should
suffice.
Well, I know you expect people to read...
I'm just wondering why so many people use ancient versions. (-:

 > And 1.3.0 will be out in less than 2 hours from now :-)

Well... that's great... thank you all!
