Hi All, I have Atmel AT91SAM9263 Evlauation kit and want to load Linux-2.6.27 on it. Here is what I did:
1. Downloaded Linux-2.6.27 and followed instructions on http://www.linux4sam.org/twiki/bin/view/Linux4SAM/LinuxKernel to build the Linux kernel. I used cross tool chain arm-none-linux-gnueabi- 2. As a result i got file "vmlinux". 3. Converted it to binary using the command - arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S vmlinux linux.bin 4. Since U-boot uses only uImage, I gave command - mkimage -A arm -O linux -C none -T kernel -a 200000 -e 200000 -n linux-2.6 -d linux.bin uImage This gave me the uImage file. I used Load address and entry point as 0x200000 because it is suggested at http://www.linux4sam.org/twiki/bin/view/Linux4SAM/GettingStarted#Linux4SAM_NandFlash_demo_Memory that linux kernel should be at 0x200000 to boot from NANDFLASH. /Please comment if I built the image uImage file right?/ Now I want to use this Linux image on the AT91SAM9263-EK board. I use the Atmel tool SAM-BA v2.7. I erased the NANDFlash. Loaded Bootstrap and u-boot at the said addresses. It goes to U-boot prompt fine. The evluation kit is connected through serial port and I use hyperterminal. I get the U-boot prompt. I have questions about loading the Linux Image. Do I just use SAM-BA v2.7 tool and send file uImage to address 0x200000? I tied that and I got Error: Cant get kernel image. Any help will be appreciated !!
