Thoie "board does not want to accept it"? This is wrong. The board is
just hardware, and it does not want anything. I guess you mean that
there is already another boot loader installed and running, and that
this boot loader does not load the U-Boot ELF file? If this
assumption is correct, than I am not surprised. U-Boot cannot be
loaded dynamically. You must install it in flash memory, overwriting
the existing boot loader.
Best regards,
