Hi,
I've looked at the included imx508 u-boot source and compared to the strings extracted from the u-boot in the update images.
There seems to be significant differences.

I verified my device passes this test:

if [ `dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 skip=1024 count=1 | grep -c "HW CONFIG"` == 1 ]; then
    PLATFORM=ntx508
fi

which obviously means to use the .kobo/upgrade/ntx508/u-boot.bin boot loader.
Looking at "strings u-boot.bin", there are several messages referring to NTX functions that are NOT present in the u-boot in this repository. The u-boot script is also fairly different and includes calling "load_ntxkernel" which is nowhere to be found in the u-boot source.

Note, I will also be posting a similar message to relevant message boards and contact Kobo directly, but this place seems like the most technical place, so I figure I'm more likely to get a reply from someone who understands what I'm asking :)

Thanks in advance
Jens
