U-boot for Banana Pi

Fri Aug 15 13:47:56 UTC 2014

Boot partition is created by following:

gpart add -b 1m -s 64m -t fat16 md0
gpart set -a active -i 1 md0
newfs_msdos -F 16 /dev/md0s1

-b is needed because:
dd if=/usr/src/u-boot-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin conv=notrunc 
of=banana.img bs=1024 seek=8

and will corrupt partition table, resulting not even boot.scr loaded.

How do You install u-boot-sunxi on Your board?
Or maybe I should use sunxi-spl.bin and u-boot.bin instead of 
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin?
But u-boot-sunxi compiles only:
/usr/src/u-boot-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
/usr/src/u-boot-sunxi/u-boot.bin

No change on FAT32, "error reading cluster".

Didn't work either..

But then again I take a look:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Cubieboard
and:
dd if=/usr/src/u-boot-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin conv=notrunc 
of=banana.img bs=1024 seek=8
dd if=sunxi-spl.bin conv=notrunc of=banana.img bs=1024 seek=8
dd if=u-boot.bin conv=notrunc of=banana.img bs=1024 seek=32

And the kernel was finally loaded...

274844 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin  that comes from Bananapi compiled 
u-boot, but anyway it was overwritten??

So thank You for help, all I missed something there.. still not mounting 
second slice, but I will try to find out why..
ps. 512MB of RAM? I didn't tell You it should be 1024MB in 
/usr/src/sys/boot/fdt/dts/bananapi.dts ?? :)
