[Buildroot] Q. vmlinuz on ARM?

[Chris Wilkinson]

Is vmlinuz an output option for ARM? It appears to be an option only for
MIPS.

My current iop32x stock kernel is vmlinuz, see below.

[Buildroot] Q. vmlinuz on ARM?

Dear Chris Wilkinson,

Most likely, it's just zImage that has been renamed. On x86, the kernel
generates 'bzImage', and distributions typically rename it to
vmlinuz-<version> when the kernel image is installed in /boot.

If you want a vmlinuz on ARM:

	cp /path/to/linux/build/dir/arch/arm/boot/zImage /boot/vmlinuz-<version>

Best regards,

Thomas
