I'm having trouble understanding how an image should be created.
It was my intention to use the zImage file already compressed with a loader. RAM starts at 0xc0000000, the kernel wants to load, after decompression, to 0xc00c8000. Normally, compressed kernel images are loaded at 0xc0008000.
tools/mkimage -A arm -C none -a 0xc0008000 -d zImage image
From the boot loader,
rarp 0xc0008000 bootm
The trouble is that it starts executing at 0xc0008000 which is the image header.
Based on reading the README, I'm suspicious that I've misconstrued the load addresses and that the loader doesn't support uncompressed images.
Any tips?
