Chainload U-Boot on NSA325v2 from bodhi's u-boot

Hi,

I have U-Boot 2014.07-tld-3 on nand.
I compiled another version of u-boot (which I know it works because I already tried flashing).
I'm trying to chainloading it from 2014.07-tld-3 version :

NSA325> usb reset; ext2load  usb 0:2 0x800000 /media/u-boot.kwb ; go 0x800200
(Re)start USB...
USB0:   USB EHCI 1.00
scanning bus 0 for devices... 3 USB Device(s) found
       scanning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found
444432 bytes read in 265 ms (1.6 MiB/s)
## Starting application at 0x00800200 ...


U-Boot 2014.07-tld-3 (Mar 06 2015 - 21:30:53)
ZyXEL NSA325 2-Bay Power Media Server

SoC:   Kirkwood 88F6282_??
DRAM:  512 MiB
WARNING: Caches not enabled
NAND:  128 MiB
In:    serial
Out:   serial
Err:   serial
Net:   egiga0 [PRIME]
MV88E1318 PHY initialized on egiga0

It loads ... but it seems to start the same u-boot again ??
If I load another file, it "correctly" hangs up... so it *is* loading something... but I can't understand why the version is the same...(and my custom commands are not there).

Any clues?
Ty!

Davide,

Chainloading u-boots using more modern versions is difficult (due to structural changes). You could try recompiling my u-boot version as is, and name it differently to identify it. See if you can do that first. And then start changing the code a little, try it. Keep doing this until it stops working. That's when you know it has been changed in a way (memory locations were substantially different) that it's no longer possible to chainload.

With that said, chain loading is really good for experiment only. If you need to add some significant functionality to u-boot, then chance is that it needs to be different enough that chainloading will not work :)
