Hi Scott,

Sorry for so many questions. Because I have never used u-boot(cygwin or linux) before, so I have many questions. Now, I am being in confused about u-boot.

I want to re-new my mind now in order to make u-boot work on my board.

> First, I want to ask you the relation between u-boot, flash, sdram and epcs4.

> Furthermore, where are various kinds of files(uImage, .bin, .sof, .flash, .srec and so on) run or properly

stored in for u-boot? Is u-boot stored in flash or EPCS?

> Finally, what procedure should I follow and test step by step in order to achieve u-boot, boot uClinux on

my board?

Thank you,
