I looked into doing this for QEMU's boot loader once. I wasn't able to come up with a solution because there's no way given a zImage to determine how big it will be uncompressed, so all you can do is make a best-guess about where to put other things. Maybe I missed a way to do this cleanly though? thanks -- PMM _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
