Well, u-boot native tools are built perfectly now, and uImages
work. Try to build for afeb9260 machine, and see for yourself.
I tried that yesterday, it works perfectly.

Wel, look at u-boot_git.bb, it has tags fixed for some machines, and

you can fix versions by providing git commit hashes in SRC_URI. Look

u-boot_git on how this is done.
