To do that you need to use + mkimage, which can be built with the Makefile provided. + It's important to note that you must build mkimage with the compiler flags + for your host. + Also mkimage can convert files like initrd.gz to uInitrd in order to be + loaded it by U-Boot at boot stage. + + To generate all the stuff required for a device you'll find a directory for + each one. Take a look in "./devices/" for more information.
