Hi, all I'm a newbie to u-boot.
I have one question: I saw "Loading init Ramdisk from Legacy Image at 82000000..." in the boot log. So, what and why is "Legacy Image"? and what is not a legacy image?
Regards,
huahua

A "legacy image" is the old image format created as default by the "mkimage" tool; the new, recommended image format is called "FIT images" (FIT = flattened image tree); see doc/uImage.FIT/ for more information.
