A couple of comments: I sent a patch to the list this morning which fixes the EVM-supplied u-boot sources for me. And, you can update u-boot from a running linux using MTD - though you may have to turn off the "writable" bits in the board setup definitions for the low area MTD partitions first. The firmware update process I have implemented for our product runs as a linux application and uses MTD to rewrite u-boot, u-boot environment and uImage. It works well. So 1. Update your kernel image to one that makes the appropriate MTD partition writable 2. Boot it 3. Rewrite u-boot from linux 4. ... 5.
