Digi CCWMX53

[Russell Haley]

Fantastic,

Thanks so much Warner and Rui.

Rui I've been pouring over your page trying to glean as much as I could
from it. I'm working with someone else and he tried booting from the
addresses on your page but since I wasn't building with the cross compiler
the kernel was never going to boot. He was wondering why the offset for the
go command when booting from the network (setenv bootcmd 'dhcp; tftpboot
0x70800000 kernel.ccwmx53; go 0x70800100')?

I can't wait to try this out!

Thanks Guys!
Russ
