Thanks for reply, your information helped me. But I would like to
request to sort this message when using x86_64 as architecture type in
the mkimage. The following debug message when creating the FIT image
guided me in the wrong path for the past few days, as I thought x86_64
is not supported and I need to use x86. With arch=x86_64 while
creating FIT/uImage,
Invalid CPU Type - valid names are: alpha, arm, x86, ia64, m68k,
microblaze, mips, mips64, nios2, powerpc, ppc, s390, sh, sparc,
sparc64, blackfin, avr32
Architecture: Unknown Architecture
Also the image type used for setup.bin. With image type= x86_setup
Invalid Image Type - valid names are: filesystem, firmware,
flat_dt, imximage, kernel, kwbimage, multi, omapimage, ramdisk,
script, standalone, flat_dt, kwbimage, imximage, ublimage
Many Thanks:)
Now with x86_64 as arch type I could run the system again. I should
have ignored the message and tested initially, but also confusions
with Load and entry addresses let me to stay blank.
