How to determine version and upgrade?

I have looked through the forum and cannot figure out (a) how one determines the installed version of u-boot or (b) how one upgrades it. Is there a page or link on Jeff's site I'm overlooking? All I seem to see are announcements of new releases and the initial install procedure (which of course I've already done). Is upgrade a matter of re-running the install script?

I'm not sure of a way to determine the uBoot version. But to upgrade, follow the install instructions at the top of http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/

Ok, so it's a matter of following the same procedure that I used initially to install it. Is it safe to assume that script will always pull down the latest version? I always feel more confident if something shows a version number.

That's a safe assumption. I don't think Jeff keeps older versions readily available for download. The script always pulls down the latest and greatest.

I was trying to figure out version of uboot too.

I have a few dockstars, one that I keep older bootloader on, and I can cold boot usb stick and hard drives that I NOW can't on my updated uboot that added pogo2,go support and other things to it.
I wold like to downgrade.
Maybe Jeff can seperate uboot loaders for each device.
For example:
Dockstar uboot
Go uboot
Pogo 2 uboot

Or have uboot by version number and we download the version we want.

Or I hope Jeff addresses the "cold"boot option by using one of his sticks or a usb portable hard drive that doesn't "cold" boot and adjust uboot settings until it boots it.

Obviously the stick works on "warm" boot, so it's not a stick problem, it's a parameter setting.
