4 | Das U-Boot (or just "U-Boot" for short) is Open Source Firmware for |
5 | Embedded Power Architecture®, ARM, MIPS, x86 and other processors. | |
6 | ||
7 | CRUX-ARM uses U-Boot as default bootloader for some devices, like | |
8 | efikamx, wm8505, and maybe more in the future. | |
9 | ||
10 | In this repository you'll find all required to convert kernel images | |
11 | from zImage format to uImage, which used by U-Boot. To do that you | |
12 | need to use mkimage, which can be built with the Makefile provided. | |
13 | It's important to note that you must build mkimage with the compiler | |
14 | flags for your host. | |
15 | Also mkimage can convert files like initrd.gz to uInitrd in order to | |
16 | be loaded it by U-Boot at boot stage. | |
17 | ||
18 | To generate all the stuff required for a device you'll find a | |
19 | directory for each one. Take a look in "./devices/<yourdevice>" for | |
20 | more information related. |
