[U-Boot-Users] help: images in example directory are invalid

[Benjamin Collar]

Greetings folks

As I've mentioned, u-boot is running on the board now. However, I've so
far failed to get a stand-alone application to run. For instance, when I
load hello_world.srec, then check it with iminfo, I get "bad magic
number". 

Using mkimage -l hello_world.srec, I get 'Bad Magic Number:
"hello_world.srec" is no valid image' I get the same result for
hello_world (the elf format).

Using powerpc-linux-objdump -fs hello_world.srec, I see:

hello_world.srec:     file format srec
architecture: UNKNOWN!, flags 0x00000000:

start address 0x00040004

Contents of section .sec1:

Can anyone explain why u-boot is building invalid images?

Thanks
Ben
