[U-Boot] ERROR: can't get kernel image!

[U-Boot] ERROR: can't get kernel image!

[Borisa Jevtic]

Hi guys.

I have come across a bulletin that blames the problem (described bellow) on
the U-Boot bootloader:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/linux/f/354/t/73788

And this is a typical bootup sequence happening for us:

Is there any chance that you guys are aware of this problem and if it is
really a u-boot problem?
If so, do you know if this has been fixed and and in which version?

Thank you.

Please read the whole page, where it is stated:
"Solution: Replace U-Boot with Mainline version with fixed NAND Drivers."

Kind regards,
