I grabbed and extracted REDBOOT.zip here:

http://search.freescale.com/cs.html?url=http%3A//www.freescale.com/files/soft_dev_tools/software_tools/initialization/boot_code_generation/REDBOOT.zip&qt=redboot&col=product&n=1

Refer to redboot_200405/doc/redboot_mx1.pdf in the above for help installing
RedBoot into flash on the MX1 ADS. Then note that you can s/RedBoot/U-Boot/g
in those instructions to install u-boot, more or less.

Using redboot_200405/tools/mx1flash-v2.0.1/mx1flash included in REDBOOT.zip,
I did the following on an MS Windows host:

mx1flash 1 8800000 C000000 u-boot.bin

Works like a charm for me.

Oh, have a look at redboot_200405/tools/mx1flash-v2.0.1/ReadMe.txt for other
tips too.
