[closed] Loading and starting any uboot on dockstar fails (5 replies)

Before upgrading my uboot on my dockstar by writing it to NAND, i prefer to load and start it. If it works, i would write it to NAND, but it always fail with any newer or older uboot image.

Even an old uboot image i once successfully used to flash to a second dockstar years ago will not work.


i do ...

Marvell>> go 0x800000
## Starting application at 0x00800000 ...

... and here it gets stuck

(ignore 'ping failed; host 192.168.x.y is not alive', i disconnected the LAN to get the boot loader prompt and reconnected it while loading the newer uboot)
