According to rmk uimages are considered obsolete. However there are probably some old bootloaders around that insist of that format. >> Signed-off-by: Alexander Dahl <[email protected]> >> --- >> platforms/kernel.in | 7 +++++++ >> rules/kernel.make | 5 +++++ >> 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+) >> >> diff --git a/platforms/kernel.in b/platforms/kernel.in >> index fd1c492..2a00122 100644 >> --- a/platforms/kernel.in >> +++ b/platforms/kernel.in >> @@ -213,6 +213,13 @@ config KERNEL_IMAGE >> config KERNEL_DTC >> bool >> >> +config KERNEL_LOADADDR >> + hex >> + prompt "uImage load address" >> + depends on KERNEL_IMAGE_U >> + help >> + Newer kernels want this passed if you build an uImage. >> + > > This should be right after the image selection. > > Michael > >> config KERNEL_XZ >> prompt "build xz-utils hosttool" >> bool >> diff --git a/rules/kernel.make b/rules/kernel.make >> index d02a69c..3270231 100644 >> --- a/rules/kernel.make >> +++ b/rules/kernel.make >> @@ -71,6 +71,11 @@ KERNEL_MAKEVARS += \ >> DEPMOD=$(PTXCONF_SYSROOT_HOST)/sbin/depmod >> endif >> >> +ifdef PTXCONF_KERNEL_IMAGE_U >> +KERNEL_MAKEVARS += \ >> + LOADADDR=$(PTXCONF_KERNEL_LOADADDR) >> +endif >> + What happens if you build a older kernel and don't configure PTXCONF_KERNEL_LOADADDR via ptxdist? Does it break while it used to work with an older ptxdist?
