[U-Boot-Users] Re: Booting Multi Image FIle

Actually i havent read, cause im using u-boot 1.1.14
What im trying to do is using a multi-image file with this version.
If i do: bootm ${kernel_addr} ${ramdisk_addr} ${fdt_addr} everything is OK, the problem for me is getting this addresses, i had to browse the image with a hex editor.
If i do: bootm ${kernel_addr} the kernel doesnt find ramdisk
So i have to find a way for getting it works using just the command above.
Move to u-boot 1.3.3 is not a good idea right now.
Cheers,

So you read doc/uImage.FIT/command_syntax_extension.txt containing this example at the end:
- boot "kernel@2" from a new uImage at 200000, with initrd "ramdisk@1"
and FDT "fdt@1", both stored in some other new uImage located at 800000: bootm 200000:kernel@1 800000:ramdisk@1 800000:fdt@1
And you still have questions? ;)
Cheers Detlev

My apologies, i was using ramdisk image with some headers... thats why kernel couldnt find it.
