That's it. If it didn't work for you then possible user error? File size
error?
Possible/probable user error, but as I've already bricked one DreamPlug
and had to buy a replacement I'm very reluctant to give it another go.
But you don't need to update u-boot specifically for Wheezy. You don't
need FDT support either.
If you have squeeze you could just upgrade.
Or am I missing something?
I wanted to run the stock Debian kernel, that requires a fixed U-Boot or
to add a shim to flush the L2 cache like Ian Campbell showed. I also
want to do a fresh install with my own choice of packages and config
rather than upgrade what the plug ships with.
