Hi again, i've learned a little bit :)
- I have download the zImage.elf via the EDK flash loader - The flash loader creates a bootloader, this is also running on start up :) But ... It stops with an error-message after a few seconds: EDK Bootloader: Bootloader: Processed (0x)000000b2 S-recordsERROR: SREC line is corrupted What now ?
