All this research and it basicly boils down to one problem.. Say you are supporting two boards with different silicon vendors.. For board A, what was the zreladdress so you can build a "uImage" with mkimage?? Or do you just copy zImage and work on your real application? > There is a file named Makefile.boot in arch/arm/mach-omap2. This file > defines zreladdr.Is this file necessary(for zImage booting)? No, that variable was "only" used in the non-multiarch case when calling "make uImage" to create the "uImage" file correctly..
