There are some boot methods/use-cases that only work with uImage. Not sure if that's the case with mpc8315e-rdb though... -- Denys -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
[yocto] any YP machines or functionality that still require uImage creation?
i just noticed that the machine config file for mpc8315e-rdb still lists "uImage" as the default image type: KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "uImage" IMAGE_BOOT_FILES ?= "u-boot.bin uImage uImage-mpc8315erdb.dtb;dtb" is there anything about that target that still *requires* uImage creation, as opposed to zImage? given that uImage is considered u-boot's "legacy" format, is there any drawback to making zImage the default image type, and letting folks drop back to uImage if they choose? put another way, is there anything that currently *ever* requires the creation/use of a uImage format? rday -- Robert P.
