Please can you keep the ML copied with replies? (and BTW we try to add
posts to the bottom)

To find this:
- look up do_bootelf()   (~all commands start with do_ and end with
the command name)
- this is in cmd/elf.c
- then look up cmd/Makefile to see where elf.o is enabled:
obj-$(CONFIG_CMD_ELF) += elf.o
- then look up cmd/Kconfig to see 'config CMD_ELF'

So probably your board has CMD_ELF disabled. It is enabled by default,
so perhaps you have '# CONFIG_CMD_ELF is not set' in the
config_xxx_defconfig for your board? If you remove that, then the
command should be enabled. You can check using 'make menuconfig' or by
using grep on the .config file produced.

Regards,
Simon
