I need some pointers. My target machine is a Dreamplug.
In the Fedora 17 arm distro, there are separate releases for ARMv5 and ARMv7. I have been playing with the ARMv5 download which includes kernels for tegra, imx, omap, and armv5tel (the latter is what I have been using). I created a FAT16 partition on an sd card, used uboot's mkimage to package the kernal for uboot to load. I can execute the uboot command: "usb start; fatload usb 1 0x6400000 /boot/uImage" But when I load the uImage to memory at 0x6400000, and bootm 0x6400000 (how do I know that that's the correct load address -- I copied the trimslice directions), I get no response. When I do the same with a kernel supplied by compulab for the dreamplug, it seems to function properly, ie. it boots to the point where it is looking for the rootfs (it gets further in the boot process). Is there any documentation on how to proceed in FC17 with the supplied kernels? Maybe I should just cross compile to get to a uImage?
