1) We have 2 packages that concerning u-boot: 1a) Crocket 1b) /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-beaglebone-eabi Please note: the patches for u-boot in the above 2 packages are different. In my humble opinion, I'd think the u-boot patches for the above 2 packages are better to be identical. 2) My patches to the latest u-boot are against above 1b) /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-beaglebone-eabi 3) To rule out the sd-card issue is caused by the latest u-boot, would you mind to go back to the previous u-boot, and re-run the test? Replacing u-boot and MLO can be done by something similar below: scp MLO root@192.168.1.10:/boot/msdos scp u-boot.img root@192.168.1.10:/boot/msdos/BB_UBOOT.IMG Thanks.
