After several heart-struck failure, I got one workable way to program each other in FLASH between PlanetCore and U-Boot. Hardware Platform : RPXlite DW(EP 823 H1 DW) 1.

For example, you couldn't download a file from HOST PC via TFTP. Don't worry, just restart your HOST PC and everything would work as smooth as clockwork. I don't know the reason WHY:-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ===== Best regards, Sam
