Dear friends,

I am facing some problems in making initrd image for at91rm9200.I am

using this command,as per mentioned in README file of u-boot-1.1.6.

tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' -a arm -0x00000000 linux -T

ramdisk -C gzip -d /ArmLinux/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz/ examples/simple-initrd

tools/mkimage: invalid load address arm

My loading address is 0x00000000 http://

How much investigation have you done of this problem yourself? My guess would be none.

From the output of 'mkimage -h':

Usage: mkimage -l image -l ==> list image header information mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name -d data_file[:data_file...] image -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' -O ==> set operating system to 'os' -T ==> set image type to 'type' -C ==> set compression type 'comp' -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) -n ==> set image name to 'name' -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' -x ==> set XIP (execute in place)

This strongly suggests that the section of your command line '-a arm -0x00000000 linux' is seriously wrong.

I think it should be '-A arm -a 0x00000000 -O linux', but you will want to check these match your actual application of mkimage.
