But this machine does not support BOOTZ in u-boot. OK, I guess I was just a bit confused by the entry point pointing into the middle of the image, right after the u-boot header, then.

0x40 is the size of the uImage header, I think. So this is just skipping
the header and jumping directly into the zImage contained within?

Yes, you are right and bootz is god solution for multi platform.
But this machine does not support BOOTZ in u-boot.

Quoting Nobuhiro Iwamatsu (iwama...@debian.org): Package: flash-kernel Version: 3.8 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, I created a patch which support PlatHome OpenBlocks AX3-4 board. This is supported by armmp flavor. Could you apply this patch? NOTE: This patch is required in the patch of #720285. I just committed both patches but I have no expertise at all in these things. My proposal is building/uploading what I have and then have People Who Know test it in daily builds. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
