No LOADADDR while building uImage

Kumar Kumar

Hi,

We have modified 3.14 kernel source of GLSDK7.0 for our customized board, while building uImage I got below error. Could you please tell me where I have to fix this load address.

Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
multiple (or no) load addresses:
This is incompatible with uImages
Specify LOADADDR on the commandline to build an uImage
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/boot/uImage] Error 1
make: *** [uImage] Error 2

Hello Kumar,

Could you check if in file board-support/linux/arch/arm/boot/.uImage.cmd contains something as:
cmd_arch/arm/boot/uImage := /bin/bash /home/<user>/ti-glsdk_dra7xx-evm_7_00_00_04/board-support/linux/scripts/mkuboot.sh -A arm -O linux -C none -T kernel -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n 'Linux-3.14.31.............' -d arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/uImage

The solution is to either pass the LOADADDR to make (board specific, e.g. 'make uImage LOADADDR=0x80008000' for Panda), or to use 'make zImage' followed by calling mkimage with the proper (board specific) args.

Try to make uImage with - make ARCH=arm uImage LOADADDR=0x80008000

I suggest you to check all configuration files , because you use your custom board.
Please take a look on this link - bgamari.github.io/.../2013-11-17-running-modern-kernel-on-pandaboard.html

Best regards,
