Different board, same core, similar problem ;)
Now I get it. Thanks. But still question remains how in earth I
managed to build the kernel if not also having copied/renamed the
mkimage .bb?
Is the PREFERRED_VERSION_u-boot used to determine what mkimage and fw
utils it picks up?
Then it might be that since I/we build u-boot as a separate package,
but kernel lifts in the mkimage stuff, it works but the wrong package
was used.
In my case obviously compatible, but not recommended I guess. Also, I
agree that the fw utils should probably be in sync similar to mkimage.
