Specify LOADADDR on the commandline to build an uImage

Trying to compile imx_3.10.17_1.0.0_ga. When running "make uImage" I get error:

Any suggestions how to work around this? Thanks

Tried to pass manually LOADADDR=10008000, 80008000 - kernel does not boot. Stuks at "Starting kernel ...". Same as I had initially with 3.10 kernel: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/imx6-dongle/1M_xIrDPl-E/8_82Vftr4coJ

Most recent builds of U-Boot can boot Linux zImages directly with bootz. Maybe you can try just building the zImage and then booting that with bootz.

Also make sure you have something like "console=ttymxc0,115200n8" in your bootargs variable, so the kernel outputs to your serial console when booting.

I wonder if latest U-boot supports GK802 out of the box?

Hi, I have exactly the same issue. Did you find a solution?

The LOADADDR needs to be specified in with 0x prefix, just dropping because I found this while searching for something else...

imx6-dongle / linux-imx
