Correct? I assume that there are some differences to the Intel board. What are those differences? You have to *port* U-Boot to your specific hardware. > It complied sucessfully and gave me a u-boot.bin and u-boot.srec file. > > I used this u-boot.bin file and loaded it into my target board flash using > an ICE. after this is accomplished, I restarted the board and connected the > console of my target board so that i could observe the bootloader prompt on > the hyperterminal. > I see nothin on the console (hyperterminal) > I have connect it with baud rate 115200, 8 data bits, parity bits none, 1 > stop bit and flow control as none.

As mentioned above, using a binary compiled for a different board will in most cases not work.
