Lime does not boot with uboot 2015.01

Hello!

I have different images:
- Arch Linux ARM (set up and successfully used on Lime2 with uboot 2015.04)
- official Debian image for Lime downloaded from torrent 24h ago
both do not boot on both my Lime boards (one with flash and one without)
Somewhere else it was suggested that the solder connections of the DRAM might be faulty but this is not the case here since:
- the Android on the flash chip boots
- I find it highly unlikely that both boards have faulty soldering
- uboot 2015.04 detects RAM correctly

I am wondering if I am really the only one with issues with the official Debian image...

I'm not sure but the script.bin is only relevant for loading the kernel, not for actually initializing uboot itself - correct?

Unfortunately uboot 2015.04 can not boot the kernel I have installed on my working Lime2-image and I am stuck with this version as of now.

Any hints?

Thanks!

Various changes to U-boot etc may mean you cannot use it without corresponding changes in other code i.e. old U-boot + old kernel = OK, new U-boot + new kernel = OK, other mixes = FAIL.

new uboot + old kernel works well too.  :P

But with a little adjustments to u-boot and SPL config. Add those two:

CONFIG_ARMV7_BOOT_SEC_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_OLD_SUNXI_KERNEL_COMPAT=y

I can't tell for latest development version but this trick works for some time including 2015.07
