Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/3] image: Make image_get_fdt work like image_get_{ram_disk, kernel}

Dear Marek Vasut,

In message 201111051941.38920.marek.vasut@gmail.com you wrote:

this patchset is good and all, but can we not also introduce cmd_zload to load zImages? Wolfgang, today's ARM hardware will really benefit from that, uImage holds us back a lot these days. Other option is to extend cmd_bootm() to load zImages.

uImage holds us back? And hardware will benefit from that?

I can't parse that. Could you please elucidate?

What exactly _is_ the problem of uImage?

Or have you ever considered using a FIT image?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
