Hello,
I'am looking for an image to boot a embedded device with a single image.
I though the generated uImage in arch/powerpc/boot should work, but u-boot cannot but this,
because the addresses of initrd and dtb not found.
Now I'am creating the image by hand with mkimage:
mkimage -A ppc -n F302 -O linux \
-T multi -C gzip -a 0x0 -e 0x0 \
-d vmlinux.bin.gz:initramfs_data.cpio.gz:f302.dtb \
uImage
This file is bootable, but I don't understand how a standard file has to be booted.
I read in th u-boot documentation about a new fileformat which is build with the dtc.
Can someone explain me the different fileforamts for booting a powerpc with u-boot?
Which is the simplest to use?
Shold I reconfigure u-boot?
Thanks for help
Günter
