Dear Ronen Shitrit,
In message 309002C0DA137042828828FC53D7A9347E13537FE0@IL-MB01.marvell.com you wrote:
I'm not sure we are on the same page here, the Kirkwood has an internal bootROM which can only boot an image if this image is wrapped by a specific header.
What a stupid (read: broken) hardware design.
There are tons of standards for image formats, and even more commonly used formats I would not dare to call standard; but this processor has to invent yet another one?
The do_image should take the u-boot bin and wrap it with this header.
How do u suggest we will support this header generation for the U-Boot?
Fix the hardware design?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
