Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH] BOOT: Add RAW ramdisk support to bootz
Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:47:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1332107278-24123-1-git-send-email-robherring2@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201203162230.09522.marex@denx.de>
From: Marek Vasut <marek.vasut@gmail.com>
This patch allows loading RAW ramdisk via bootz command. The raw ramdisk is
loaded only in case it's size is specified:
bootz <kernel addr> <ramdisk addr>:<ramdisk size> <fdt addr>
For example:
bootz 0x42000000 0x43000000:0x12345 0x44000000

as the syntax of "bootm" command.
+Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
