I suspect my u-boot image was bad in some way, but my concern was that others would end up in the same situation following the instructions. Since the existing u-boot version was able to boot the linux-yocto kernel recipe, there appears to be no need to reflash u-boot. > If the Poky too chain has issues with this, then there is a problem > with that tool chain, and you should enter a bug report. > > What exactly would that problem be? Absolutely, this wasn't intended as a final "solution". The issue appears to be related to the 4.5.1 version of gcc failing in various ways to build either u-boot master or v2010.09, or v2010.12. I will report this to the u-boot mailing list just as soon as I can get back to it. -- Darren > > In any case, just papering over the problems seems not a good > startegy to me. > > Best regards, > > Wolfgang Denk > -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel
