   Unfortunately, the U-Boot download link points to an ancient (>8 months
old) version of U-Boot. The latest U-Boot is here:

   Not much difference:

U-Boot: Two commits in the last two months. [1]
qi: Three commits in the last two months. [2]

[1] http://git.openmoko.org/?p=u-boot.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/stable
[2] http://git.openmoko.org/?p=qi.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master

   Other than being able to flash a new boot loader. :-)
