Rudi, As we discussed earlier today, let my send you my binaries for the kernel and u-boot to try on your board. I just wanted to ask you about the toolchain that you used to build yours. In our builds we use Linaro gcc-4.7 hardfp toolchain and I vaguely remember hearing about some problems with the recent gcc-4.8 toolchain from oe-core... I'm wondering if you are having the same issue.
