| 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. |

| 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. |
