And we have to port ext2 support to it because we have no FAT partition. Quote from an internal query I just did: "There shouldn't be a case where xM has memory that X-Loader works for that SPL did not. There _may_ be a UART issue that needs work-arounding however. And of course if they used mainline they could pretty easily do RAW for SPL/U-Boot.img and then do everything else with ext2/3/4 and ignore FAT. " I am ccying u-boot Mailing list to see how we can help. -- Regards, Nishanth Menon
