IIUC, mkimage only adds a header containing the information passed on the command line to the file, or prints the header contained in the file. But it doesn't compress the file, for example. I found a few pages on the internet that described how to make uboot images, for example this one: http://www.beattie-home.net/beattie/DSM-G600/U-Boot-README.html Quoting from this page: * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): * convert the kernel into a raw binary image: ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ -R .note -R .comment \ -S vmlinux linux.bin * compress the binary image: gzip -9 linux.bin * package compressed binary image for U-Boot: mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ -d linux.bin.gz uImage But that doesn't work for me. Running 'arm-linux-objcopy -O binary ...' on the vmlinux file creates a HUGE file linux.bin (~3GB), so I suspect something is wrong. Any idea?
