How have you booted in the past?  Do you tftp down the images or run  
from flash?

Here's an example assuming you have a kernel image at address  
$loadaddr and the dtb at $ftaddr

dtc -b0 -Idts -Odtb -V16 lite5200.dts > lite5200.dtb

download lite5200.dtb to the system

=> bootm $loadaddr - $fdtaddr

- k
