[U-Boot] [ELDK] Not able to Uncompress Multi Image

[Zoolu R]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. yes same u-boot versions are used on the board.

We have built 2 multi images and trying to boot on both boards.

Image 1 boots on both boards fine and no problem.

Image 2 boots on one board and stops uncompressing multi-image on 2nd board.

Both Image1 and Image 2 are built out of same code base. So we do not
undertstand what would be the difference as the 2nd board boots image 1
successfully.

I also tried to verify the CRC and it is all fine.... On 2nd board it stops
throwing out "Uncompressing Multi-File Image ..."

Do let us know if there are any other methods !! ( We have 256 MB Ram and i
am using 0x4000000 for download).

Best Regards
zoolu
