But I have problems. I want these details: 1) Are there any specific options I need to set/change while compiling the Hardhat kernel (with menuconfig or the compiler options)? One of the compiler options is mcpu=860. The Rpxlite board is based on MPC823e. Should the mcpu option be changed for it? 2) What is the bfdformat of the image expected by the rpxlite board? Should I build the kernel image in S record format? 3) If so can I compress the image using gzip? Should the compression be done before mkimage or after mkimage? Can anyone help me with these? Right now, I am doing the following: ppc_8xx-objcopy -S -O binary vmlinux vmlinux-raw gzip vf9 vmlinux-raw ./mkimage -n 'Linux RpxLite' -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -d vmlinux-raw.gz rpxlite-image I am able to tftp the rpxlite-image onto the target. But I cannot run the image on the target. Is there anything wrong with the options I am using? Thanks in advance for any help Regards Priya ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
