Why did you do that?

What makes you think this could work?

There is no documentation anywhere that desribes such an approach, so
why do you think this could work?


Why don't you simply read the DULG for the canyonlands board an follow
the steps described there to install a new U-Bootimage?

Be careful.  Even if boards are similar the code for one board
(canyonlands) will most certainly NOT run on different hardware (even
if you consider the differences to be small).

Make sure you have a JTAG debugger at hand in case you brick your
board (alternatively, make sure you  have a working boot image in NAND
for recovery).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
