[U-Boot-Users] integrator-ap + ARM926EJ-S

[Thierry Matalini]

I download the images from the ARM site
(http://www.arm.com/linux/prebuilt_download.html)
- u-boot-ap.axf
- Image.Integrator.2.6.9
- System.cramfs

I program all 3 images onto the flash, and I boot from u-boot.
When I want to launch the kernel, the boot process freezes.

Am I doing something wrong ? I do need to configure something before
program the images ?

You need to run the mkimage utility that comes with U-Boot on the
kernel image files and write the resulting image in flash instead. See
below as an example:

mkimage -A arm -T kernel -C none -a 0x7fc0 -e 0x8000 -n u-linux \
        -d arch/arm/boot/Image u-linux

Did you wrap the kernel with mkimage?

Does the ARM Boot Monitor run before U-Boot?
If not you may need Jean-Paul's
patch (& mine)

Did you flash the images with the ARM Flash Utility i.e so that the
images are in mtd format?

Has the kernel been built with MTD support?
