Hi Zachary,

Well thanks a lot. The 20060615 tool chain along with the suggestion in the 
link that you sent me did the trick. But now I face a different problem. I did 
get a neat build and the u-boot.bin file. I flashed the same onto the EVB. But 
i can't get a u-boot prompt on Minicom. Its just blank and nothing else. I 
opened the Srec file and compared it with the Srec file I got for MCF5272 with 
u-boot1.1.2 and seemed pretty ok. Do I have to do something to get it on the 
console ? is there any other modifications that i need to do other than make 
M5271EVB_config and make ??? 

Please help me out.

Regards,
Adarsh.
