| 5 | Das U-Boot (or just "U-Boot" for short) is Open Source Firmware for |
| 6 | Embedded Power Architecture®, ARM, MIPS, x86 and other processors. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | CRUX-ARM uses U-Boot as default bootloader for some devices, like efikamx, |
| 9 | cubieboard, cubieboard2, cubox, and maybe more in the future. |

| 11 | In this repository you'll find all required to convert kernel images from |
| 12 | zImage format to uImage, which used by U-Boot. To do that you need to use |
| 13 | mkimage, which can be built with the Makefile provided. |
| 14 | It's important to note that you must build mkimage with the compiler flags |
| 15 | for your host. |
| 16 | Also mkimage can convert files like initrd.gz to uInitrd in order to be |
| 17 | loaded it by U-Boot at boot stage. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | To generate all the stuff required for a device you'll find a directory for |
| 20 | each one. Take a look in "./devices/<yourdevice>" for more information. |
