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.
