Hi, Wolfgang,

Dear Jason Liu,

But, I did think again about your comments. If we store the version into the header which will make the version check more easier, the side-effect is that we store some boot ROM useless information into the header, but which should not bring some issues.
mkimage -l can work with the actual images if the version info stored into the head.
Be careful.
Here is the log I get:
r64343@r64343-desktop:~/work_space/u-boot-upstream/u-boot$ ./tools/mkimage -l u-boot.imx Image Type: Freescale IMX Boot Image Image Ver: 1 (i.MX25/35/51 compatible) Data Size: 170936 Bytes = 166.93 kB = 0.16 MB Load Address: 977ff7fc Entry Point: 97800000
What's you comments?
This looks as if you added something to the standard 64 byte image header. You must not modify this. It is fixed for all architectures and cannot be extended.
This change is specific for I.MX chip and will not affect other architectures.
Best Regards, Jason Liu Happy New Year!
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

I didn't ask to be made. No one consul- ted with me or considered my feelings in this matter. But if it brought some passing fancy to some lowly humans as they haphazardly pranced their way through life's mournful jungle, then so be it.
