Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.71
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I want to get the Hardkernel Odroid C2 supported by flash-kernel.

It is a 64bit system.

Unfortunately in file /usr/share/flash-kernel/functions the functions
mkimage_kernel() and mkimage_initrd() both call mkimage with argument

 -A arm .

This is incorrect. On 64bit arm systems you have to use

 -A arm64 .

Otherwise neither u-boot nor the kernel can read the images.

I suggest to use `uname -m` to determine the architectue.
If it is aarch64 use mkimage -A arm64.

Best regards

Heinrich Schuchardt
