redboot and uImage ??
Hi,
Thanks everyone for your help .. We have been able to get our ixdp425
based board up using redboot ..
Things are looking good ..
I have one more querry btw ..
Is it possible to use redboot to boot a uImage instead of zImage .. we
have been successfull with ..
What exact change would the exec / go command need ..
we had been using the following command to get zImage up .
exec -c "console=ttyS1,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock4 rw, mem=64M@0x0000000
Cheers,
Wang
