U-Boot versions are a bit tricky. Here we have a collection of tested U-Boots and associated bugs.

[edit] Identifying version for a u-boot.bin image
The following command should tell you which version of a U-Boot is contained in a particular image :
$ strings gta02v5_and_up-u-boot.bin | grep U-Boot
[edit] Identifying current boot-loader version
The version is displayed on top of the booloader's menu.
Being connected to it, the version command can also be used.
You can also check current boot-loader version from running openmoko system:
$strings /dev/mtd1 | grep Bootloader
[edit] Installing another U-Boot version
See Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner#Flashing_the_boot_loader_to_the_NAND for instance.

[edit] Tested versions (obsolete)
U-Boot version | Comment | Hang on boot | ttyACM0 flowcontrol | Boot from SD |
---|---|---|---|---|
1.2.0-moko9_r0 | 2007.08 snapshot | no hangs | a bit buggy | crashes |
1.2.0-moko9_r8 | SH1-included | no hangs | a bit buggy | works |
1.2.0-moko9_r13 | "good-for-sd-boot" | hangs | ? | works |
[edit] GLAMO improvements
A "major" version is available at gena2x's site, read more about it at u-boot-gena2x
As reported in the following thread: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-July/062495.html it allows for better performances in the glamo usage.
[edit] Bugs
[edit] Hang on boot
Bug #887: U-Boot initialization race condition: Hangs on boot
Booting directly makes the kernel oops, but booting via the menu works.
[edit] ttyACM0 flowcontrol
Bug #? (Comment 4 here?)
In the USB U-Boot console, fast input seems to work but fast output is buggy: for example, random parts of printenv go missing.
[edit] Boot from SD
Bug #799: data abort while reading from SD Cards
Booting from SD fails. mmcinit works but trying to access the filesystem causes a crash.
