Hello Scott, Thanks for replying. We have few more products based on different ppc-processor/u-boot/linux, all are using cuImage. So, for better maintenance and uniformity, I am trying cuImage with this new h/w (P1020 & u-boot-2009.11). Could you please let me know that,
- Can we make cuImage work with this combination? (by editing the
wrapper/mkimage, etc)
- What is the advantage of using uImage, instead of cuImage?
cuImage was implemented specifically for compatibility with old boards with old U-Boots that don't support device trees. If you want to use it for anything else, you're on your own. It relies on an old, very fragile and non-extensible interface for passing information from U-Boot to Linux.
Could you make it work? Probably. Should you? No.
