Issues booting DM355EVM with custom kernel

Pavel Goryunov

Hello, everyone.

I've built my own kernel with purpose to enable usb-gadget mode.

Next step was to load it via tftp.

dm355>tftp 0x80700000 myImage

Next i've tried to boot from memory

dm355>bootm

Board returns such error:

Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Does tftp loads image properly? try giving bootm 0x80700000

Thx,

Hello.

In my u-boot 0x80700000 is the default address for bootm command.

Actually I followed your advice, but it caused no effect.

Which kernel file is the myImage file? u-boot expects the uImage file. The files Image and zImage won't work with u-boot.
