Hi, I cross compiled linux kernel using gnutools for mpc8260 and got a file by name zimage.embedded. We have ordered for a demo on the target board (8260ADS) and they are asking for kernel with start address at 0x0000_0000. How will I see that info in the kernel ? Or by default it will place itself on 0x0000_0000 ?
Erm. Can you give more information here? What firmware? What 8260 board, specifically? The 'zImage.embedded' file you mentioned gets loaded into RAM at 0x0080_0000 by default and when it runs, it will uncompress the kernel and locate it at 0x0000_0000. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
