vmlinux, the entry point in my case should be 0x00008000, what' should be the load address?
load address and entry point address do NOT depend on which image you use for building the U-Boot image (actually the only choice you have is using the raw binary or the compressed raw binary). They depen on your kernel's memory map, and nothing else.
I noticed that the load address and entry point are all set to ${ZRELADDR} in both arch/armnommu/boot/Makefile and arch/arm/boot/Makefile. In my case (CM946E and Integrator CP) the memory map is as follows.
0x00000000 --- Flash (alias) 0x00100000 --- SDRAM (128M) 0x10000000 --- CM control registers 0x24000000 --- Flash (16M)
At reset the top 256K (0x24FC0000 - 0x24FFFFFF) of flash is mapped to address 0x0.
So ${ZRELADDR} should be set to 0x00180000, right? Thus the load address and entry point are both set to 0x00180000. Right?
