My U-Boot bootm command:
Marvell>> ? bootm
bootm [addr [arg ...]]
- boot application image stored in memory
passing arguments 'arg ...'; when booting a Linux kernel,
'arg' can be the address of an initrd image
This command calculates checksum for both kernel and ramdisk (kernel
located at addr1 and ramdisk located at addr2) and then boots kernel:
Marvell>> bootm addr1 addr2
This command calculates checksum only for kernel (kernel located at
addr1) and then boots kernel:
Marvell>> bootm addr1
Are you trying to make checksum for kernel and for ramdisk? OpenWrt does
not use ramdisk this way. If you compile your image as ramdisk you get
just one file.
I use this command:
Marvell>> bootm addr1
to boot OpenWrt from U-Boot. It only calculates checksum for kernel and
not for squashfs mtd partition...
You should use mkimage tool to calculate kernel checksum. Here is example for
target XYZ:
define Image/BuildKernel
# XYZ mach id 1542 (0x606) - you will have different mach id !!!
echo -en "\x06\x1c\xa0\xe3\x06\x10\x81\xe3" > $(KDIR)/XYZ-zImage
cat $(LINUX_DIR)/arch/arm/boot/zImage >> $(KDIR)/XYZ-zImage
$(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel \
-C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n 'Linux-$(LINUX_VERSION)' \
-d $(KDIR)/XYZ-zImage $(KDIR)/XYZ-uImage
cp $(KDIR)/XYZ-uImage $(BIN_DIR)/openwrt-XYZ-uImage
endef
Hope this helps...
