From a quick look at U-Boot, it defaults to IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY if there is the U-Boot image magic number, else if U-Boot is built with FDT (DeviceTree) support, it uses IMAGE_FORMAT_FIT. In any other case, the image is considered invalid (IMAGE_FORMAT_INVALID). I found this old submission of bootz to boot zImages: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2003-June/001589.html The patches had many issues (I for one would have been unhappy about having a new bootz command, but perhaps I'm missing the reason why bootm can't be used). -- Loïc Minier _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
