Re: Raw binary Image of linux

[chirag garg <chiragdthinker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello ,

I perform the following steps to run linux kernel on imx6:

Download 3.18 kernel from www.kernel.org

Make steps:
make CROSSarm-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm imx_v6_v7_defconfig
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm uImage LOADADDR=10001000

cp linux-3.18.4/arch/arm/boot/uImage Sd_card

Run uImage on the imx6 board...
 

Output :

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 10800000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-3.18.4
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    5445640 Bytes =  5.2 MB
   Load Address: 10001000
   Entry Point:  10001000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Loading Kernel Image ... OK
OK

Starting kernel ...

what could be the problem in this ? why Is this kernel not able start on imx6 platform ?

Thanks in advance,

The DTS files for all ARM boards are available in the following
directory

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/arm/boot/dts/?v=3.14

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig?v=3.14

imx_v6_v7_defconfig is the config file for imx platform.
