Thanks, James and Wolfgang. I forgot to use the mkimage to convert it.

All the best,

Leiying

How do you "check" it? If this is by any chance  under  U-Boot,  then
you  should  read  the docs how to convert a plain ramdisk image like
the one you are using into a U-Boot  image  (hint:  use  the  mkimage
tool).

Best regards,
