Hi,

Someone who was trying to help test my frame buffer changes was unable
to boot the image he built. The error message was: "Wrong Image Format
for bootm command". Has anyone seen that before? He was using a 4GB SD
card. No partitions were mounted when dd was run. The SD card writing
appeared to work (there were 4 partitions after writing). His xM is
Rev A2. Any ideas?

Thomas

If the regular minix image was written, bootm should never be invoked.

From my - admittedly limited - knowledge of how early booting works on this board, it seems to be the SD card isn't being booted from (yet) and it's stuck in internal flash stage and not going to the MMC boot stage.

I.e. it seems to be the configuration on the flash has to be examined.
