RE: Bootloader for ARM integrator board


Hello,

Just one more question .. Is the kernel image of Linux(vmlinux) directly
bootable on the integrator platform or does it necessarily require the
bootloader to do the initialization of the board before the control can
finally jump to vmlinux ?

Thanks and regards,
Mehul

You can use redboot as your bootloader yes.

You need to install the eCos environment, but you only build redboot.

Actually it does work on the ARM966E-S processor. Use the integrator_arm9 
target.
