I would like to run a xipImage. I'm sure I have to tell u-boot

that this is the case, but how?

For the moment I have an xipImage that prints "Magic Bad

Number" when I try to start it.

This is on PowerPC, I assume?

An XIP image has the following properties: it is not compressed (IH_COMP_NONE), and load address is the current start address in memory (ntohl(hdr->ih_load) == addr); see "common/cmd_bootm.c" lines 320ff.

No, sorry. It is an Atmel AT91RM9200 (uCRouter) board running u-boot 1.1.1. I have built a linux-2.6.15-xipImage to run in the flash memory. My thought is that the start up time will increase a bit. I have insearted the start address for the kernel within the menuconfig -> boot options. I guess I now have to tell u-boot that the kernel should not be loaded to RAM, and instead run in flash. Is that correct? If so, How can I do that?
