We are working with the development KIT from Atmel AT91RM9200DK and have problem when the U-Boot tries to uncompress the kernel Image.

Pilot error.

4. mkimage -A arm -O linux -C gzip -a 0x21000000 -e 0x21000000 -d

linux.bin.gz uImage

Uboot> tftp 21000000 uImage

As has been discussed many, many times before the download address CANNOT be the same as the load address, or U-Boot will overwrite the not-yet-uncompressed part of the image when it starts uncompressing.

GUNZIP ERROR - must RESET board to recover

You got what you asked for.

You must leave at least 1.5 ... 2 MB at the load address for the uncompressed image; try "tftp 21200000;bootm" instead.
