I belive it should be pretty easy to port ubldr(8) to support AT91 as raj@ made it working on the Marverll ARM platform. I'm not sure which details should be reimplemented, though, but from what I seen it should be quite a little work required. I'm just using plain uboot loading direclty from flash without Atmel 1st level loader and then use uboot to load FreeBSD kernel/pass hints and kenv variables. I think I posted the relevant code a couple of times to the list, but maybe it really makes more sense to port loader(8) instead as my code isn't going to make it into the official uboot distribution. -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE
