[U-Boot-Users] Load address and entry point for mips?
I apologize in advance if this question is irrelevant to u-boot.
I'm having issues kicking off Linux kernel from my u-boot. The board I'm working on is based on mips au1550. I can load kernel image via nfs to the board, and write to flash. However, when I try to run, it uncompresses the image, and get stuck at "Starting kernel..."
When I do the mkimage with linux bin, I'm not sure what values to use for load address and entry point. In README file, it says for powerpc use 0 for both, but I think for mips, it won't be the case. (SDRAM base is 0x80000000.)
I'd appreciate any suggestion/comments on this.
Thanks!

this is a snippet from the script we use:
START=`${CROSS_COMPILE}objdump -h vmlinux |awk '$2 == ".text" {print $4;}'` ENTRY=`${CROSS_COMPILE}objdump -f vmlinux |awk '/start/ {print $3;}'`
