I build the linux kernel-4.6 for rpi3 and tried to boot it up from u-boot using the following commands.
In u-boot console
fatload mmc 0:1 $fdt_addr_r bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb
fatload mmc 0:1 $loadaddr Image
setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait console=tty0 rootfstype=ext4
booti $loadaddr - $fdt_addr_r
All the binaries are in place and the kernel just boots fine.
$loadaddr
is 0x00200000
$fdt_addr_r
is 0x00000100
How can I boot the uImage of the kernel instead of the Image binary since I don't know much about the type of Image binary (which shows up as MS Dos executable on doing file Image
)
My Failed Attempt
Using the mkimage
utility, I created the uImage as follows and then tried to boot it up using the following commands.
./mkimage -A arm64 -O Linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80080000 -e 0x80080000 -d Image uImage
In u-boot console
fatload mmc 0:1 $fdt_addr_r bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb
fatload mmc 0:1 $loadaddr uImage
setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait rootfstype=ext4 console=AMA0
bootm $loadaddr - $fdt_addr_r
But nothing happens and u-boot binary gets rebooted itself. Can bootm
be used to boot the uImage of arm 64 bit kernel? Or the uImage created is itself not correct? What am I missing?
